I think at this price range it goes without saying that this knife is extremely sharp with great edge retention and constructed to last a lifetime.What sets this apart from the shun classic series is the SG-2 steel in the blade, it is a 'powdered steel'.Basically what this means is that the molecular structure of the steel is much more uniform than in regular steel, which allows it to be extremely strong and yet not too brittle.

Aside from the technical details, this santoku has excellent ergonomics and looks simply stunning.When you cut with this knife it feels like you are holding a fine work of art, and rightly so.

There are many who balk at paying this amount of money for a single knife, but personally I would rather have 2 or 3 outstanding knives that I will cherish for many years to come rather than a whole set of knives which are just good or simply average.

Product Description:
The ancient traditions of Japanese samurai sword-making, meet today's state-of-the-art steel technology in the new Shun Elite series of knives by Kai.Like the traditional samurai sword blade, Shun Elite is extremely sharp and flexible; ideal for food preparation.But unlike the traditional blade, Shun Elite features a center layer of a new type of "super steel" called SG-2.This new "super steel" starts out in a powdered form.Under heat and pressure it combines to make a much denser alloy which in turn creates the finest molecular structure used in knife making today.The result is an edge that will hold longer than any other steel on the market.Even better for busy chefs.Shun Elite's superior edge will respond quickly and easily to a honing steel when it needs a quick touchup.For added strength and protection, the SG-2 is clade between two outer layers of quality 410A stainless steel for beauty and tireless handling.Shun Elite features an ergonomic handle of handsome PakkaWood®.This premium-quality hardwood laminate combines the beauty and feel of hardwoods with the strength and performance of plastic.Inlaid with a traditional symbol, the handle is also enhanced by thin rings of brass and copper separating it from the bolster. With this kind of beauty and performance, Shun Elite will soon become the knife chefs reach for again and again.
