Shun Dual Core 8" Kiritsuke Knife
ITEM#: VG0017
Product Overview
The Shun Dual Core Kiritsuke Knife is a master chef’s tool, revered in Japan for its versatility and precision. Functioning as an all-purpose chef’s knife, it excels at tasks like julienning, dicing, and brunoising vegetables with effortless accuracy. Its straight-edged blade is perfect for slicing cuts and push cuts, making it ideal for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, especially fish, and gracefully slicing cooked meats. This kiritsuke knife quickly becomes a go-to for any cook who values performance and artistry.
Crafted through Shun’s innovative Dual Core process, the blade features 71 alternating micro-layers of high-carbon, high-chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels, roll-forged to create a fine-grained, durable structure. The laminated steel is hot-forged into a stunning herringbone Damascus pattern, enhancing both strength and beauty. As the two steels wear at different rates, micro-serrations form along the edge, maintaining exceptional sharpness over time. The etched laminations reduce drag, ensuring food releases easily and cuts glide smoothly. The thin, lightweight blade offers agility without compromising strength.
The traditional Japanese octagon-shaped handle, made from ebony PakkaWood, provides a moisture-resistant, comfortable grip that ensures control during intricate tasks. Handcrafted in Japan, this kiritsuke knife embodies Shun’s commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with timeless craftsmanship.
