Shun Classic White

The Shun Classic White series features Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped PakkaWood handles in a light and beautiful natural wood tone. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is top function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun Classic's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold.
