Blue Steel are exciting new knives by Shun developed in partnership with Chef Chris Cosentino, of Incanto restaurant in San Francisco, that feature a carbon steel cutting core for a razor-sharp edge and easy re-sharpening. For easier care, the carbon core is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. The traditional Japanese blade shapes include the honesuki boning knife, the all-purpose kiritsuke, and the menkiri noodle knife. Shun Blue Steel knives are an exciting new selection of traditional Japanese culinary knives available to professionals and avid home cooks in the West.
