Shun Knife Narukami Series
What’s Shun Knives’ Blue II Carbon Steel?
Hitachi Blue II is a simple carbon steel alloy that takes a fine edge and can be re-sharpened easily. Additional alloying elements enable it to provide excellent edge retention and toughness. Yet, like all carbon steels, Blue II requires additional care. Cleaning and drying immediately is key. Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge. Blue II is an exceptional cutlery steel.
The ultimate performance of a carbon steel cutting core meets the beauty and benefits of san mai stainless steel cladding in Shun’s new Narukami series. This striking series is designed for professionals and for those who appreciate the unique qualities of fine of fine carbon steel cutlery.

Shun Knife Sora Series
It joins two steels in one blade and puts advanced steel along the cutting edge—where it’s needed. The result is cutting performance that is smooth and easy in a perfectly balanced kitchen knife that feels wonderfully comfortable to hold.
Shun Classic Knives
The Shun Classic Series knife unites centuries-old Japanese Samurai blacksmithing with today’s modern and technically-sophisticated manufacturing processes. The result is an exceedingly high-quality range of Damascus knives, engineered with attention to the most minute details and designed to always retain its sharpness. The knives are therefore ideally suited for professional use.
The Shun Classic blades are gorgeous to look at due to the distinctive semigloss pattern exhibited by the Damascus steel composite comprising 32 layers. This combination with the elegant, tapering handle made of black pakka wood, results in an overall aesthetic design that puts quality and functionality at its core.
The Shun Classic Blade: VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade’s core right up to its edge. Sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the knife embodies a peerless anatomy paired with a resilient blade that is both hard and flexible at once due to its hybrid composition. The Shun Classic blades have a double-sided edge.
The Shun Classic Handle: The slim handle made of durable pakka wood is fashioned in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. High quality resins added to the wood make the material particularly resilient and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and secure grip whilst cutting, thanks to a small rim on its right side. The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.
