The thin, flexible blade isdesigned to cut in and around bones and cartilage, leaving just thepieces you want for preparing your meal. Wusthof Classic Black knivesare hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. Thehigh-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharpedge, and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impactcomposition handles.
Regularly $99.99 NOW only $89.99 Also available in Wusthof's Ikon series Regularly $129, NOW only $119 New from Shun: Premier & Pro
SHUN PREMIER
Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier possesses the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 16 layers on both sides with stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and increased precision. Where the steels meet, a wavy line called a hamon is formed - similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered using a clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish ("Tsuchime" in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut Pakkawood handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.
SHUN PRO
For the Japanese aficionado, nothing compares to to scalpel-likeprecision of a single bevel blade. The newly updated Shun Pro line features the same incredibly sharp chisel edges as in the past, combined with D-shaped Pakkawood handles, which lend a secure and comfortable grip. The beautiful graffiti-etched blade is made with high-carbon VG10 steel, which takes and holds an edge longer than comparable knives. The wide Shinogi (or blade bevel) makes sharpening on a whetstone effortless. |
