Shun Multi-Purpose Shears

Kai has been making shears in Japan for over a century, and it shows in the details — the blades separate for real cleaning, the micro-serrated edge grips instead of slipping, and the handles are shaped for a proper grip rather than a token one. Spatchcock a chicken, trim herbs, cut through packaging and cardboard. Most kitchen shears are an afterthought; these are built like a knife. Shun Classic is the knife that started it all — the line Shun brought to North America in 2002, and still the widest range of blade shapes they make. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, where blades have been forged for over 800 years, each one takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. Free sharpening on all Shun cutlery for as long as you own it. Click for details
