Shun | Dual Core Yanagiba, 10.5 inches
Imagine gliding your knife in one long, fluid stroke through a just caught mackerel, unveiling translucent slices that shimmer like silk on a chilled plate, each one a testament to the sea's quiet bounty. That's the serene mastery Shun achieves with their Dual Core 10.5-inch Yanagiba, a single bevel specialist we reach for whenever sushi or sashimi calls for that effortless precision. We love how Shun engineered this beauty with a thicker blade stock for added heft and rigidity, letting it power through proteins without a whisper of drag, while the gentle hollow grind on the back eases every release.
Their dual VG10 and VG2 core, forged into 71 micro Damascus layers, holds a razor keen 16-degree edge that stays true through seasons of use, simplifying sharpening for that pro-level ease. At 8.6 ounces, it feels balanced and alive in hand, perfect for home cooks who savor raw rituals or fine slicing tasks.
The octagon ebony Pakkawood handle cradles your grip with warm, bacteria resistant comfort, and it arrives with a beech wood sheath for safe keeping. Shun built this to honor tradition, and we're all in on its quiet power. We chose it because nothing turns a simple fillet into something extraordinary quite like this. Reach for it and let the slices sing.
