Shun Cutlery Classic Blonde Chef’s Knife 8”, Thin, Light Kitchen Knife, Ideal for All-Around Food Preparation, Authentic, Handcrafted Japanese, Professional Chef Knife

Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Classic Blonde Chef’s Knife. This Japanese knife features wide blade that keeps knuckles off the cutting board with a curved belly that can be gently “rocked” through herbs and spices to create a very fine mince. The blade is also thinner than most western style knives so it’s lighter and less tiring to use. The Classic Chef’s Knife is constructed with Shun’s proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree edge that glides through food. The D-shaped, blonde Pakkawood handle is durable, beautiful, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, and doesn’t harbor bacteria. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it’s a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.
