    Shun Classic, crafted by Kai in Seki, Japan, is one of the most widely used knife lines in both home kitchens and professional settings worldwide. At its core is VG-MAX stainless steel, delivering outstanding edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance. The blade is clad in elegant Damascus layers, showcasing a refined, flowing pattern that highlights traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

    Aesthetically, the Classic line is timeless—its polished Damascus finish and clean, sophisticated profile make it instantly recognizable and enduringly stylish.

    Paired with a black pakkawood D-shaped handle, it offers excellent comfort, control, and moisture resistance, with a design that naturally fits the hand. Shun Classic combines proven performance with iconic design, making it a staple choice for any kitchen.

    Care Instruction
    1. Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
    2. Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
    3. Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
    4. Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
    5. It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
    6. It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
