Shun Elite is an innovative combination of aesthetics and performance in kitchen cutlery. Hand crafted in Seki City, Japan, the center of the ancient samurai tradition, Elite's stunning design is directly inspired by the artful aesthetic of samurai swords. The blade features a unique core of SG2, an exotic powdered steel that's hardened to 64 on the Rockwell scale, resulting in an exceedingly sharp and smooth edge. This amazing metal means that elite knives stay sharp several times longer than comparable stainless cutlery. The knife is then clad with two layers of SUS410, a softer steel that provides strength, flexibility, and corrosion protection. The 8-Inch Chef's Knife is the ultimate all-around kitchen knife, perfect for slicing, chopping, dicing, and mincing. Limited lifetime warranty.
