Shun Dual Core 10.5" Yanagiba Knife with Wooden Saya / Sheath

Description: Shun Dual Core 10.5" Yanagiba Knife with Wooden Saya / SheathThe Shun Dual Core Yanagiba is the perfect knife for slicing raw proteins. It is, quite simply, the ultimate sushi knife.Thin and light, yet robust and razor sharp, Shun Dual Core features 71 alternating layers for true fold-forged Damascus in hardwearing stainless steel. This dual-core construction extends all the way to the edge of each knife, resulting in high-performance cutlery that boasts exceptional sharpness and maintains a razor-sharp edge through extended use. Until now, it was considered almost impossible to create layered Damascus from two premium-quality stainless steels. But what was impossible is now a reality—and Shun is proud to bring it to your kitchen. The Shun Dual Core series features a Damascus blade made from two premium-quality, high-carbon stainless steels. Seventy-one alternating micro layers of high carbon, high chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels are roll-forged to produce a finer grain in the steel and to give it both strength and beauty. The laminated steel is then hot forged to create the herringbone pattern that allows the layers to alternate along the cutting edge. During normal use, the two steels will wear at different rates creating micro serrations along the edge so that the Dual Core’s extremely sharp edge feels sharp longer. Etched laminations in the blade reduce drag, helping food release from the blade and gliding through each cut quickly and easily. Dual Core blades are thin, light, and strong. Traditional Japanese octagon-shaped handles in ebony PakkaWood provide a comfortable and secure grip to complete the look of these beautiful knives. Made in Japan.The Shun Dual Core Yanagiba Knife has the length, weight, and single-bevel design of a traditional Japanese yanagiba. The blade stock is thicker than the rest of the Dual Core series, 4.5mm thick rather than 2.5mm. This gives the knife heft and rigidity, enabling it to glide through cuts with ease and grace. The Shun Dual Core Yanagiba is the perfect knife for slicing raw proteins. It is, quite simply, the ultimate sushi knife.Dual core construction: 71 alternating micro-layers of stainless steel that extend all the way to the edgeLayers are welded together and fold-forged to give a finer grain to the steel and to create the herringbone pattern that allows the layers to alternate along the cutting edgeHigh-carbon, high-chromium VG10 & VG2 stainless steelHand-sharpened 16°, double-bevel bladeEtched laminations in the blade reduce drag, helping food release from the blade and gliding through each cut quickly and easilyTraditional Japanese ebony PakkaWood octagon-shaped handle provide a comfortable and secure gripIncludes Japanese wooden saya / sheathMade in JapanLifetime Manufacturers Warranty
