The Shun Classics are the original Shun, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy, ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle. With Shun Classic, you’ll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes, so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.
