Shun <\/p>\n

\u201cShun\u201d (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness\u2014at the peak of its perfection. <\/p>\n

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don\u2019t see. <\/p>\n

Handcrafted in Japan <\/p>\n

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world. <\/p>\n

Knife Steel is Essential <\/p>\n

Heat treatment\u2014an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun\u2019s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process. <\/p>\n

Quality and Performance <\/p>\n

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season\u2019s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. <\/p>\n

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too. <\/p>\n

Shun Kanso <\/h3>\n

\"kanso<\/p>\n

\"kanso<\/p>\n

Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means “simplicity” but it is a simplicity that is achieved by concentrating solely on what is most essential. When it comes to Shun’s Kanso cutlery, essential means high-performance steel, a razor sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. <\/p>\n

Kanso is simple – and beautiful – kitchen cutlery that simply performs. <\/p>\n

Tagayasan Wood Handle <\/h3>\n

Known as “iron sword wood” – the Kanso line features a Tagayasan Wood handle that is notable for its denseness, durability, and simple beauty while providing easy cutting control. The handle is also angled for a comfortable chef’s grip and precision cutting. <\/p>\n

\"shun<\/p>\n

Full Tang Construction <\/h3>\n

Providing cutting balance and strength, the Kanso line features a full tang construction, meaning the blade and handle are one piece of steel. <\/p>\n

The Kanso line also features a Heritage finish on the blade that helps hide scratches and gives the blade a rustic look that improves with age. <\/p>\n

\"layered<\/p>\n

Layered Steel <\/h3>\n

As in all Shun knives, the steel is essential to the performance of the cutting edge. The Kanso line features Japanese AUS10A blade steel – a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. <\/p>\n
