Description

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.

    • Awesome 😎

    • Sharp, but tip broke immediately
Love the weight and feel of this knife. Holds an edge very well and is easily sharpened. However, avoid using to cut harder things like meats. The tip of blade broke off within the first couple uses. Will probably continue to use until it rusts as a result of the break.

    • Love Shun, but not up to my paring knife!
First. I received a damaged box, Next, I purchased a small paring knife before that is fabulous. So, I bought this chef’s knife for my hub. Unfortunately it is nothing like the paring knife. We love Shun, but this knife did not cut the mustard,(pun intended)

    • Super sharp and pretty looking
This is my first fancy knife and I am impressed. It is really sharp but also very lightweight. The wooden handle makes it look handsome as well. The knife works well so far and makes cooking feel a lot easier than my old (and dull knife). I haven’t tried sharpening it yet or honing it.

    • Excellent balance, comfortable to hold and cut.
The weight, feel and overall are all excellent.

    • Sharp, durable, extremely comfortable
Beautiful knife with a mean razor edge. And it's not the thinnest profile blade which I much prefer. I have a prasizion Changshan and a big ole Buck chef knife with the heft and weight. This i would say has the most comfortable handle of all my knives with a weight profile in the middle of my other two knives. It feels great and it's definitely the sharpest chef knife I have now. Cangshan comes in right behind it but that's more of a weightless feel. ... show more
