The Shun Wasabi Black line offers sleek knives constructed using Japanese techniques. The 6 inch Yanagiba is a traditional Japanese blade designed for slicing. The long, stainless steel blade features a single-beveled edge, sharpened to an acute angle for precise and accurate slices of whatever is on the menu. Finished with a smooth, rounded black handle, the Wasabi Black 6 inch Yanagiba is a striking blade whether in use or on display.

Wasabi Black knives are a new addition to their terrific Japanese cutlery lineup. Kershaw/Shun has been Japan’s premier blade craftsman for over 90 years. New in 2008, classic Shun craftsmanship matches with contemporary style in the Wasabi Black line. Among the sharpest of knives, the Wasabi Black knives uphold Shun’s commitment to exemplary design and function. Sleek, black handles made of powdered bamboo combined with polypropylene hold the brushed stainless steel blade, balancing comfort and strength. The blades are constructed of Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for enduring edge retention, requiring less sharpening than other knives. The Wasabi Black knives by Shun is the perfect collection of knives for the chef with a taste for culinary and cutlery fusions.
