About

The Limited Edition Engetsu Santoku is unlike any other blade Shun has ever made. Engetsu, meaning “full moon”, is adorned with a graceful circular pattern through the center of the knife. Not only is it striking to behold but you can actually feel its uniqueness with each cut. Shun’s Zone Performance Blade Technology offers precision control at both the heel and tip, with incredibly smooth slicing through the center.

• This Limited Edition santoku offers elevated cutting performance in an all-purpose knife

• Engetsu ("full moon” in Japanese) refers to the dense, circular, full-moon pattern in the center of the blade; with Engetsu's Zone Performance Technology, this zone also helps food release from the blade

• Engetsu's Dual Core blade steel is made of 71 alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 stainless steel and enables a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge
