The Shun Pro Sho Series focuses exclusively on single-edged and thus traditionally Japanese blade shapes. Thanks to extremely high manufacturing standards and corrosion-resistant blade steels, this series is particularly suitable for continuous professional use. The knife’s elegant design combines classic Japanese design language with contemporary features in a sublime fashion. The blades, embossed with an elaborate ornamental yet modern grafetti pattern, created using an innovative manufacturing process, form the knives’ visual highlight. As in the Shun Classic Series, the elegantly shaped and functional black pakkawood handle stands in contrast to the blade’s opulent patterns. The series received a Special Mention in the 2019 German Design Award.
Over a century of knife-making experience goes into every handmade Shun knife, epitomising Japanese craftsmanship and carried out with the highest degree of precision.
We have 2 available, and only ONE OF EACH. These are a limited special edition release.

Both of the knives’ blades are made of corrosion-resistant A(US)10 steel with a hardness of 60 (±1) HRC. The cutting edge, honed to 45° on one side, ensures the extra sharpness required for extreme precision. The flat of the blade is hollow-ground to create a cushion of air between it and the material being cut. This reduces friction to a minimum and guarantees perfect cutting results. The handles are made of black pakkawood and are very elegant the asymmetrical chestnut shape enables a secure and comfortable grip whilst cutting and fit the hand perfectly. The integrated tang provides stability and balance.
A very acute blade angle combined with a high Rockwell hardness rating makes for ridiculously sharp blades, allowing effortless use in the kitchen, home or commercial.
