Specifications

For sale is one new, open-stock, second-grade*: Shun Fuji 6" Serrated Utility Knife, model SGE0722; made in Japan. Shown is a stock image. *Note: This knife is an unmarked factory-second. It slipped by Shun inspection; but it does have an aesthetic defect: The end-cap was not installed squarely with the bolster, and is rotated about ten degrees to the left, resulting in a slight twist in the handle. While it can be seen, it is not really felt and does not affect the performance of the knife. The knife also has subtle wear from handling and storage, but nothing offensive. While not suitable for the collector, it is a fine option for the serious chef who intends to put this tool to good work. Open-stock knife without individual retail packaging. Stock image shown; exact appearance subject to vary due to random inventory pull. Shun's new premium line, the exotic Fuji series, brings forth unmatched performance and elegance that must be experienced to be believed, rivaling above that of even their Classic knives. I've yet to encounter any cutlery that feels so natural, looks so good, or performs so well. In the kitchen there can be no substitute for a utility knife, and when it comes to utility knives there is no substitute for a Shun. The serrated blade on this model is especially well suited for tougher foods and shall effortlessly slice salami or saw through hard squash; it's also great for cutting sandwiches or scoring baguettes. Whether to start or supplement a set, this knife is certain to change your culinary experience just as it has for professional chefs worldwide. Product Description:Shun crafts their Fuji Utility Knife with the exotic SG-2 powdered steel as a cutting core, but then goes a step further by cladding it in a true Damascus pattern cover. This is incredibly difficult and labor intensive because the Damascus process involves the folding together of two different types of metals; in this case, nickel alloy and high-carbon steel. So, unlike the other Shun lines, there are actually three types of metal in the blade instead of two. The Fuji's SG-2 powdered steel is processed using a special method known as hot isostatic press which yields an alloy with a much higher density and grain structure and no imperfections or weak points, permitting an impressive Rockwell hardness of 64. SG-2 is simply unmatched in performance, edge-retention, and re-sharpening. The Fuji also feature ambidextrous handles made from richly-grained dark tagayasan 'iron sword' wood, a dense wood traditionally used in Japan to make samurai sword handles, and are capped with polished Damascus steel.Details & Features: Six-Inch Serrated Utility Knife, model SGE-0722 Blade constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel.80 layers per side plus the Damascus core results in a 161-layer blade with a beautiful pattern.
