Kershaw is a Japanese company, which has been in this industry for quite some time. The parent company of Kershaw, the KAI has been in this cutlery industry for more than 90 years. The classic Shun blades that are made in Kershaw are extremely popular and they are sold extensively. The blade has a nonstick quality. The handles of these knives are made of black Pakkawood.

Pakkawood is manufactured by impregnating hardwood veneers with phenol thermosetting resins, and fusing them into a solid wood grained structure for premium applications. The Shun Classic Knives have been approved by the National Sanitation Foundation.

They are made in the Damascus style with VG-10 super steel which is covered with sixteen layers of high-carbon stainless steel. VG-10 super steel is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. Besides looking good, the resulting texture lessens surface tension on the side of the blade so that foods don’t stick as much during slicing and dicing.

The Kershaw Shun Classic 5-inch chef’s knife is very exciting. The core is made of very hard Zen metal, but at the same time it’s very flexible. This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery doesn’t have rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less food damage and faster food preparation. This will cost you around $90.

The Kershaw Shun Classic 6-inch chef’s knife is hardened more than the other knives in this category for a masterful piece of cutlery. It is durable and this convenient 6-inch knife is available at a rate of around $138.

The Kershaw Shun Classic 6-inch boning knife is a must have tool for any kitchen. It’s extremely sharp and it’s of great use in de-boning roasts and large chunks of meat. It is available at a quality rate of around $120.

The Kershaw Shun Classic 6-inch utility knife deserves the name “utility” added to it, as it is the kind of knife that can simply do anything you want in your kitchen. This all-in-one piece will cost you around $90.
All the products are available at cheaper prices through selected dealers and online shopping centers.
