Designed for power and precision, the Edo knives feature Shun's most advanced ergonomic handle design and blade geometry. Every aspect, from the shape of the blade to the way the handle fits snugly into the users hand, has been designed for superlative comfort and control. The arc of the sleek pakkawood handle provides stability, while the rock of the blade's belly enables users of any height to cut with ease. Constructed of pure VG10 'Super-Steel' with a razor-sharp 16° blade angle, the mirror-polished edge and hammered blade design provides stick-resistant cutting performance. Widened bolsters guide users to the correct grip and reduces tension during use.
