Shun Classic White

Knives that make cooking effortless.

The Shun Classic White range blends centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship with modern performance. Kai Corporation handcrafts each knife in Japan using a meticulous process of more than 100 steps. This reflects the legacy of ancient samurai swordmaking traditions.

Each knife features a VG MAX steel core that delivers exceptional edge retention, strength, and precision. Craftsmen clad the core with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side, creating a total of 69 layers. The blades are ground and bead blasted, revealing the flowing layered pattern. A heritage finish subtly disguises scratches and develops character with use.

The ashwood-coloured PakkaWood handle provides comfort and balance. Its lightweight design feels natural in the hand and resists moisture, making it ideal for everyday use. The Classic White range combines traditional blade shapes with modern materials, giving cooks precise, professional performance and timeless beauty.
