These western-style knives from our Shun Reserve collection are as beautiful to behold as they are a pleasure to use. Striking in their design, the colorful charcoal-and-crimson PakkaWood handles are contoured for comfort and embellished with an inlaid mosaic crest.

• Handcrafted in the style of western cutlery, the knife has a fully forged blade that provides added balance when making precision cuts.
• Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword–making techniques, the blades' core of SG2 powdered steel has a superfine, even grain capable of being forged into an ultrathin yet extremely strong, exquisitely sharp blade.
• Blades clad in a true 32-layer Damascus of forged nickel and stainless steel help food release from the blade.
• Blades have a Japanese-style 16-degree cutting angle.
• Full-tang construction and a riveted handle made of moisture-resistant, resin-infused polished PakkaWood offer comfort and control.
