This combination produces a sharp, flexible blade that contains a core of "super steel", or SG-2. The powdered SG-2 is transformed into a dense alloy under intense heat and pressure. It is then clad between two outer layers of 410A stainless steel. The result is a blade that is strong but flexible, and it will hold its edge longer than other knives while responding quickly and easily to honing when needed.The handle of the Shun Elite Series knives are made with Shun's PakkaWood material. Pakkawood is a premium-quality hardwood laminate that has the look and feel of hardwood with the strength and performance of plastic. Thin rings of brass and copper, located where the handle meets the bolster, add detail to the handle, as well as an inlaid traditional Japanese symbol.
