Shun Hiro SG2 6-Inch Ultimate Utility Knife

The Shun Hiro collection features high-performance Eastern-style knives designed for speed agility and balance as well as striking beauty. A cutting core of ultra-premium SG-2 steel creates a super-sharp lasting edge. This utility knife’s serrated edge glides through delicate thin-skinned fruit and vegetables as well as crusty breads making it the perfect sandwich knife. The broad blade with rounded tip is great for spreading condiments. Extremely thin lightweight blade for fast and agile performance. The blade’s core of SG-2 powdered steel is clad on each side with Damascus steel composed of 32 alternating layers of nickel and stainless steel for a total of 65 layers. SG-2 is an extremely fine-grained dense and hard steel which enables it to take and hold an exquisitely fine edge with long-lasting sharpness. The hammered pattern tsuchime in Japanese helps the blade pass easily through food without sticking. Contoured ambidextrous handle is designed for ultimate comfort and control. Handle is dark charcoal-colored PakkaWood with crimson striations and an inlaid mosaic Samurai family crest. Mirror-polished nickel silver bolster and end cap.
