Shun Elite Knives Shun Elite knives offer an attractive design and excellent performance. The blades are made with a unique SG2 powdered steel that is hardened to 64-66 Rockwell where most kitchen knives use steel that has a Rockwell hardness of 56-58.
We are big fans of Shun Elite knives. They offer lifetime warranties on all their knives and Shun offers to re-sharpen their knives for free as long as you own them. This is a big advantage over other Japanese brands.
