Shun Classic Bird Beak Paring Knife| By Kai Shun

The Shun Classic Birds Beak Paring Knife measures 16.4cm Total with a Blade 6cm, Handle 10.4cm.

The Shun Classic Series unites centuries-old Japanese Samurai blacksmithing 
with today's modern and technically-sophisticated manufacturing processes. 
The result is an exceedingly high-quality range of Damascus knives, engineered 
with attention to the most minute details and designed to always retain its sharpness. 
The knives are therefore ideally suited for professional use. The Shun Classic blades 
are gorgeous to look at due to the distinctive semigloss pattern exhibited by the 
Damascus steel composite comprising 32 layers. This combination with the elegant, 
tapering handle made of black pakkawood, results in an overall aesthetic design 
that puts quality and functionality at its core.

VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade's core right 
up to its edge. Sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the knife embodies a peerless 
anatomy paired with a resilient blade that is both hard and flexible at once due to its 
hybrid composition. The Shun Classic blades have a double-sided edge.
