Product Description
Shun SG0403 Elite 6-1/2-Inch Santoku: Kitchen & Dining. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Almost unheard of a decade ago, the Asian-style santoku is now one of the most popular knives in American kitchens. Similar to a Western chef's knife, the santoku rocks, chops, minces, and slices vegetables, fish, and meat. This 6-1/2-inch santoku is a member of Shun's fabulous Elite collection. The knife features a sleek black PakkaWood handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a hamon, along the edge of the blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. Any chef would feel honored to receive this exceptional, gift-boxed knife. Shun Elite knives stand out for their incredible sharpness, sharper even than Shun Classics, thanks to the newest powdered steel alloy known as SG-2. The process used to make SG-2 results in a fine-grained, very dense blend of ingredients that creates a smooth-as-silk knife edge. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun Elite knives should be washed and dried--carefully--by hand, and stored when possible in a wooden block to protect the blade.
