All blades in the Shun Wasabi Black series are made with Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for superior sharpness and edge retention. | Pro series knives are a specialty line of knives designed for the true Asian-knife connoisseur. Each knife in the Shun Pro Series features a single-bevel edge and hollow-ground back, which provides exceptional control; the kind of control required for precision slicing when working with sushi and sashimi. |
