Shun Shiranami 6 Piece Knife Block Set

"Available exclusively at Cutlery and More, the Shun Shiranami knife series is precision forged, nature inspired, rooted in the ocean's dynamic beauty. Shun Shiranami knives combine extraordinary sharpness with superior performance. The Damascus blade is made from two premium-quality, high-carbon stainless steels. 71 alternating micro-layers of high carbon, high chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels are roll-forged to produce a finer grain in the steel and to give it both strength and beauty. The laminated steel is then hot forged to create the wave-inspired pattern that allows the layers to alternate along the cutting edge. During normal use, the two steels will wear at different rates creating micro serrations along the edge so that the extremely sharp edge feels sharp longer. Etched laminations in the blade reduce drag, helping food release from the blade and gliding through each cut quickly and easily. Beyond durability, the textured surface of the jute micarta handle provides a tactile experience that improves grip and control, especially in wet or slippery conditions. The full composite tang in the handle lends the knife a robust stability and provides an optimum counterweight to the blade. Shiranami, meaning ""white-capped wave"" in Japanese, reflects the knife's stunning blade pattern, featuring an exceptionally sharp blade edge and a fine, thin mid-blade for ease of slicing, this series sets a new
