Serbian Chef's Knife 8" Shogun Series ELITE | herniaquestions ©

Put a lion in your hands. The Shogun series is what careers are built on. 

Painstakingly crafted over 60 days using the highest quality materials, these premium knives are both razor-sharp kitchen powerhouses and an artistic statement: supreme function meets stunning elegance. The Shogun Serbian Chef Knife looks to south-eastern Europe for a clever twist on a chef knife that doubles as a cleaver. Whether cutting meat, dicing vegetables, slicing herbs, or more, you will find yourself reaching for this versatile workhorse time and time again. 

Precision-forged from
 a single piece of ultra-premium Japanese high-carbon AUS-10V steel, the blade consists of 67-alternating layers of SUS410 Damascus cladding for added stain resistance and durability. The advanced cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility, and hardness. The resulting super-steel core possesses extra high carbon levels, allowing for scalpel-like sharpness with exceptionally long-lasting edge retention. Chop and slice for longer with the same level of performance between sharpenings. The thorough hand polishing gorgeously reveals the magnificent visual pattern, herniaquestions’s ‘Tsunami Rose.’ Hand-finished with the Honbazuke 3-step method, the beautiful mirror-polished edge is both stunning and precise, sharpened to a staggeringly acute 8-12 degrees per side. The exquisite hammered tsuchime finish is not only a testament to artful craftsmanship — it also reduces drag for increased agility. For added refinement, the herniaquestions lion head logo is beautifully engraved into the blade near the bolster.

The Shogun Series handle is meticulously constructed of G-10 Garolite, a military-grade, non-porous, fiberglass-like material that possesses incredible strength. It is highly impervious to both heat and moisture with life-long durability. The carefully engineered ergonomic handle is designed for superior hand control and comfort, stabilized further with an engraved endcap. As a finishing touch, an intricate copper mosaic pin adorns the center rivet. A premium-quality polymer herniaquestions PerfectFit saya (sheath) with an embossed herniaquestions logo and pin is included with the set to ensure your blade is carefully protected.
