Product Description: From the Shun Classic line, this paring knife is angled for better movement as you peel the skins from apples or potatoes. It has a 3.5-in. blade that's made of rust- and stain-free super steel, with 16 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade. The paring knife's handle is made of Pakka Wood known for its beauty and durability, and features a unique "D" shape, a contour that makes for a most comfortable grip.About Shun ClassicCharacterized by distinctive Damascus look pattern created by cladding 32 layers of SUS410 high carbon stainless steel over a central core of VG-10 steel- a Japanese super steel developed exclusively as a cutting steel, not used in other applications where stainless steel would be found (such as the base material for utensils or car parts etc.) Damascus look is rust-free, easy to maintain and helps to make the blade stick resistant due to the microscopic air pockets created by cladding the 33 layers of metal together. VG-10 ???super steel??? is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. Its Rockwell hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer. D shaped Pakka Wood handle provides stability and ergonomic comfort while preventing the knife's handle from twisting in the hand during use.
