A jealously guarded possesion of restaurant chefs, a Shun Pro knife carries Shun's advanced metallurgy and traditional Japanese design to new heights. Shun Pro knives are forged entirely of Shun's unique VG-10 "super steel", composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, and vanadium, without the 32 layers of stainless steel cladding found on Shun Classic, Ken Onion, and Premier cutlery. In addition, the bevel that creates the razor-sharp edge is found on only one side of Shun Pro knives. That single bevel, combined with the hollow-ground back of the blade, which creates an air pocket between the knife and the food its cutting, make Shun Pro knives seem to glide effortlessly through food and alllow these knives to make the most clean, precise cuts, even in the most delicate food.

The pakkawood handles are the same as those found on Shun Classic knives, "D" shaped to fit the hand most comfortably and securely, accented with a stainless-steel bolster and end cap. Shun Pro knives are simply exquisite cutting instruments, guaranteed to delight the senses.
