The Kershaw Shun Elite knives are the ultimate combination of metal technology and traditional Japanese elegance. Why are Shun Elite knives the best? The core of a Shun Elite knife is a new super alloy called SG-2, an exotic powdered steel that is hardened under heat and pressure into a dense and hard alloy. The Rockwell (Hardness) rating of Shun Elite is 64, as compared to most kitchen knives ranging from 56 to 58 Rockwell. The SG-2 molecular structure is the finest in use today, resulting in an edge that lasts longer than any other available today. The edge is smooth and incredibly sharp, yet will still respond quickly to a honing rod when necessary. The Shun Elite core is then clad between two layers of top quality 410A stainless steel. The outer layers of the Shun Elite knife blade contribute flexibility, corrosion protection, strength and beauty to the mix, as well as some stick-resistance while cutting. The Shun Elite knife handles are a mix of ornate beauty and functionality. The durable laminated hardwood PakkaWood ergonomic handles provide a sturdy but comfortable feel to the knife. The handles are detailed with thin rings of brass and copper, plus inlaid with a traditional Japanese symbol.
