The polished blades of the Wasabi Black Series are made of newly developed corrosion-resistant 6A/1K6 steel with a hardness value of 58 (±1) HRC. The extensive range offers both double bevel blade shapes, as well as traditional Japanese single bevel blade shapes. The slightly arched back of the blade allows a secure grip during work, making it easier to make fine rocking movements, for example.
The matt black plastic grip is water resistant and thus particularly robust. Its oval or chestnut shape depends on the blade size and exhibits a pleasant, natural feel thanks to the addition of bamboo powder. The handle and stainless steel blade are permanently moulded together, ruling out the accumulation of dirt.

VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade's core right up to its edge. Sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the knife embodies a peerless anatomy paired with a resilient blade that is both hard and flexible at once due to its hybrid composition. The Shun Classic blades have a double-sided edge.
The slim handle made of durable pakkawood is fashioned in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. High quality resins added to the wood make the material particularly resilient and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and secure grip whilst cutting, thanks to a small rim on its right side. The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.
