Product Description
The Santoku knife is versatile, as its name in Japanese implies ???three virtues??? ??? in this case, chopping, mincing and dicing. And especially for smaller foods, such as peppers, potatoes, or cucumbers, this 5.5-inch version is an ideal choice. Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable white birch wood and resin combination, has a unique curved

a knife as sharp as Alton Brown's wit. February 22, 2008

Shun presents the Alton Brown Angle santoku knife. It is very well crafted and rivals my Henkels in heft and feel. The blade is beautifully crafted steel, and has ridge lines embossed that give it the look of folded damscus steel. This is an extremely sharp blade. The angle of the handle keeps your knuckles from hitting the cutting board. I look forward to a lifetime of use from this quality piece.
