@MrKnifeFanatic Definitely, the SUS 400 series stainless that Shuns are clad with are almost impervious to rust due to their super high free chromium content, and VG-10 itself is very rust resistant. A year or two back my mother left my dad's Shun classic Santoku in a full sink overnight (oh yes, bricks were shat) without the slightest bit of discoloration, much less overt rust buildup. Btw, I'm really enjoying your vids; good to know I'm not the only hooligan shaving w/ knives
@RebelWrestler45 I've sharpened many many Shuns, and never once have I seen rust. My Shun Elite had tomato left on the edge for a few HOURS and didn't even stain. Don't listen to these guys.
@jessthehorse Fine knives should not rust? ALL MARTENSITIC STEEL RUSTS! It is possible that you got a counterfeit Shun, but by the way you're talking, it's probably just incompetence. VG-10 is highly rust resistance, surviving many hours in a salt water immersion test before any visible signs of iron oxide formation.
@Jorgelaine The knives are drop forged, and they have the classic Japanese tang design; plenty sturdy for any kitchen uses. And all damascus is created by forge welding and folding 2 or more steels together; it is impossible to 'smash metal with pressure' and get it to stay together. Shun's classic line are of san mai construction SUS410/SUS431 damascus forge welded to a core of VG-10.
@gm508088 I sincerely doubt that you are telling the truth; VG-10 is highly rust resistant, and SUS 400 series stainless is even moreso, anybody who has their kitchen knives rusting is simply too incompetent to care for quality tools. I use 52100 and 1095 steel in the kitchen; no rusting at all with very little maintenance.

I got just one Shun knife along with a bamboo cutting board for a wedding present. This combo is easily the most used items in my kitchen.
