Shun Premier paring knife features a high-carbon VG-10 steel core clad with 16 layers of Damascus stainless steel

All knives are hammered by hand with a technique known as tsuchime to a beautiful finish that reduces drag when cutting, preventing food from sticking to the blade

SUPER HIGH QUALITY: Made from ultra-sharp 50CR15MOV high-carbon stainless steel with yellow wooden handles crafted from natural Fraxinus wood, the Kangdelun Natura Series 14 pcs knife block set is super high quality and elegant, and is the ideal kitchen knife for both home kitchen use and as a gift.

SHARP AND DURABLE: The blade is made of ultra-sharp high carbon stainless steel, possessing high hardness of 58±2 HRC (Rockwell Hardness Scale) and better toughness, perfectly balancing hardness and toughness. Each blade is heat-treated and hand-polished to 14-16 degrees on each side. It is very sharp, and even after prolonged use the knife does not become dull or break easily. With a sharp blade, precise cutting ensures that the food retains its shape and flavor, and tastes even better.

NATURAL WOOD HANDLE: Made from premium Fraxinus wood, the ergonomic handle is natural, comfortable, lightweight and does not slide easily, making it feel great to hold in the hand. The wood undergoes high-temperature drying and is durable, not prone to cracking or malformation. As it is made from natural wood, the grain of the wood used for each handle is unique with a clear, distinctive texture and a faint log aroma. This wooden handle makes preparing food fascinating and enjoyable.
