The material the Dual Core series uses is their reliable Pakkawood scales, molded in a traditional octagon shape for a bit more tactical design when in use. Additionally, the steels wear down at different speeds due to the different steel compositions giving you micro-serrations as you use the knife over time.

The blades remain thin and light while retaining the same durability you can expect from a Shun knife. Nevertheless, let’s continue: The BladeĪs mentioned above, these knives are constructed with two types of high-quality stainless steels, each folded into each other 71 times in an alternating fashion.

For actual performance in the kitchen, I’d argue there are better picks for value-for-money. In my opinion: only if you value a) the prestige of the Shun brand, and b) the impressive aesthetics. Since these knives are a little pricier, you’d probably like to know whether they’re worth it. Shun Knives’ two unique high-carbon chromium enhanced sheets of steel, the VG 10 and the VG 2, make up the blade’s body, giving each knife a cutting edge sharpness and durability.

Kanso's Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The steel is Japanese AUS10, a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. In Kanso concept development, all that doesn't matter was left out and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. It means simplicity, but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy.
