Shun Shiranami - 6.5" Master Utility Knife - Wave Patterned 71 Layered Dual Core Damascus - Prussian Blue Jute Micarta Handle - Made in Seki City, Japan
Description:
Discover the exceptional Shun Shiranami knife series, where precision forging meets the ocean’s stunning beauty. These knives deliver extraordinary sharpness and superior performance, featuring Damascus blades made from two premium-quality, high-carbon stainless steels. With 71 alternating micro-layers of VG10 and VG2, the roll-forging process creates both strength and stunning aesthetics. The hot-forged laminated steel showcases a unique wave-inspired pattern that not only looks beautiful but also enhances functionality. As you use the knife, the differing wear rates of the steels form micro-serrations, ensuring the razor-sharp edge stays effective longer. Etched laminations reduce drag, allowing for smooth and effortless cuts. The textured jute micarta handle improves grip and control, even in wet conditions, while the full composite tang offers stability and balance. Named "Shiranami," or "white-capped wave" in Japanese, this series features a sharp edge and a fine mid-blade, making slicing effortless. Experience the new standard in cutting performance and beauty with Shun Shiranami knives, all expertly crafted in Seki, Japan.
