material
A VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC is the main component of the entire blade, extending to the cutting edge. The 32 layers of damascus steel give the knife its unmatched anatomy, with a stable blade that is both hard and soft due to the two components. The Shun Classic blades feature a symmetrical bevel.
