 ZERO TOLERANCE KNIVES

Designed and manufactured to stand up to heavy-duty use, Zero Tolerance Knives are built of premium materials such as S30V, ELMAX, or 154CM blade steel with titanium, carbon fiber, or 3-D machined G-10 handle scales. The knives have earned a reputation among their devoted fans for being “a real beast” or even being—proudly—“overbuilt.”

SHUN CUTLERY

Shun (pronounced “Shoon”) is Japanese for “at the peak of perfection.” Shun Cutlery, handcrafted in Japan by the artisans of the Kai Corporation, lives up to that tradition every day, making fine kitchen knives that are always at the peak of their perfection, too. We are dedicated to the pursuit of perfection because we believe that using knives at their peak is sure to inspire your cooking to new heights as well.
