How this sits on Kitchenware Authority

Shun lists this as Classic in VG-MAX Steel, PakkaWood (7.5 inch blade) at 7.8 oz from Japan. Published warranty: Limited Lifetime. This page is a research-based buying note from Kitchenware Authority, not a hands-on lab test — we compare maker specs and how this model sits next to other products already on this site.

Care on this site

Hand wash and dry immediately. Use wood, rubber, or plastic boards — not glass, stone, or ceramic. Skip bones, frozen food, and twisting the edge out of dense produce. Store with a saya, edge guard, or magnetic strip. Sharpen on a whetstone or with a qualified service; pull-through gadgets are a poor fit for thin Japanese geometry.
