Shun Kaji Fusion Knives

First of all, you need to hand wash and dry all Shun knives to maximize their use. It is made in Japan, a land known for its Samurai swords. Customers are given a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

So why get a Shun knife? To start with, the myth starts with the idea that forged blades are essentially better than stamped blades. The idea behind this belief is that forged blades steel molecules are aligned better so that they are endowed with better cutting properties. Of course, this was the old belief. Today, this no longer holds water because of the updated manufacturing and technological processes. Pre-made steel is now available for manufacturers.

The forged blades used to be heated up over and over again to be pounded into shape. After this tedious process, the steel is ground and sharpened. The stamped or machined blades, on the other hand, are cut and ground into shape and then heat treated twice to align the steel structure. The Shun knives first go through heat treatment that starts at 1400-1900 degrees Fahrenheit. This doesn’t end here because the steel is still brittle but very hard. The second heat treatment makes it durable as heat hits the blades at 400-700 degrees.

The Kershaw Shun Company makes sure that different manufacturing processes are applied to meet the needs of every type of blade it makes. They make further improvements on it by sharpening the blades to a certain degree angle that is better. That is why Shun knives cater to your needs best.
