Description

For sale is one new, factory-second*:
Shun Edo 8 1/4" Dual Density Serrated Utility Knife, model BB1506; made in Japan
.  Shown are stock images; product you receive shall be pulled at random and is subject to subtle variation in appearance.
*
Note:  This knife is a factory-second
(discretely marked 'xxxx' on the blade).
It appears to have been designated a factory-second due to some subtle hairline cracks in the handle.  These cracks are fairly common for the Edo line and not unique to factory-seconds; they do not affect feel or performance and are primarily aesthetic.  The knife also shows some mild handling wear (normal for seconds), but nothing abusive.  While not necessarily suitable for the collector, this knife is perfect for the amateur or professional chef who intends to put this fine tool to good use.
Please note that your knife shall be randomly pulled from a lot matching the description.  Images are for reference only and the actual knife you receive shall vary slightly in appearance.
Shun's Edo line brings forth unmatched performance and elegance that must be experienced to be believed.  I've yet to encounter any cutlery that feels so natural, looks so good, or performs so well.
Shun's singular Dual Density model provides extra cutting ability through coupling standard serrations along a larger, lower-frequency serrated edge.  With it you can easily saw through hard crusts, tough squashes, or shred lettuce and cabbage; so well as slice softer foods, such as tomatoes, without squashing
.
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:
S
hun crafts their Edo Dual Density Knife using the exotic VG-10 high-carbon stainless-steel.  The blade features a
tsuchime
finish, meaning 'hammered' in Japanese.  This finish does two things:  it gives the knife a look that is reminiscent of the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan; and creates tiny pockets of air that act as hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade.  The premium, ebony-black Pakkawood handle is ambidextrous and provides a comfortable, controlled grip.
The wide, stainless-steel bolster is designed with contour-curved thumb and forefinger rests to reduce tension while cutting.
The Edo also feature stainless-steel end-caps embossed with the Shun logo.
Combine all of these features with the sharpest Japanese edge available and you have perfection
.
