Description

Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Premier Grey 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 Premier 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. The hammered TSUCHIME finish is beautiful and helps release food easily when cutting. The stylish, grey, contoured Pakkawood handle is comfortable to use and offers a secure grip with excellent control. 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.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, Lightweight, TERRIFIC
Color: Chef Style: Knife
I hesitated buying a Shun knife even though I had heard wonderful things from professional chefs about them. Let's face it, they are expensive. Well, if you love to cook and need ONE knife that outperforms everything you have in your kitchen, BUY this one! I love it - it's very very sharp so I bought a pair of Kevlar gloves to use with it; it's lightweight, very lightweight, so your cuts and chops are easier with less wrist and hand strain; it's a work of art, beautiful Damascus steel and the handle is comfortable too. I have many Wusthof and Henckel knives and while I love them, they are heavy, hard to sharpen and have thicker blades than the Shun. I couldn't be happier and look forward to buying a parer and 6" Chefs knife in the future from Shun! ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Very well crafted for the price
Color: Chef Style: Knife
Very well balanced... For the price, this is a great knife. I sent back the Myiabi Mizu for poor craftsmanship, the blade was bent and then the Yoshihiro Gyuto that was horribly balanced ( not at all) with a handle that was supposed to be wood and felt like plastic, that was also $200... As a Chef who uses this daily. This is a $200 knife, thats cheap to be honest, people have this impression that is a lot of money for a knife. A good Japanese hand forged knife goes far beyond $800/$1000. This is a quality knife for the price. If i had was buying this myself, I would not be purchasing through Amazon, my work paid for this, so your options are very limited in what Amazon carries. ... show more

    • 4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing knife
Color: Chef Style: Knife
Nothing but praise for the knife. Sharp as a razor, beautiful, elegant. But nothing to store the knife...I was at least expecting a sturdy cardboard box with a knife shape insert....but nope, I got a cardboard box that walmart would be ashamed of with a cardboard sleeve on the blade. How am I supposed to store this thing? Upfront, i'm just a home chef....maybe pros have places to store their tools without damage...but I dont. Very dissapointed in this. To be fair, there was nothing in the description eluding to any type of "case" that came with it. But the knife is awesome. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Color: Chef Style: Knife
As an executive chef for a world renowned hotel, I found this to be the perfect knife for me. The blade requires less sharpening then others I have used. It’s also heavier then most Japanese knives I’ve tried, letting the knife do most of the work. This has become my go to knife.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly versatile chef’s knife!
Color: Chef Style: Knife
Beautifully designed, super sharp, nice balance and just the right amount of heft. A superb piece of good design & craftsmanship. Cuts as good as it looks too. It’s become my go-to first choice knife for fruit and vegetable prep. Wouldn’t recommend this for heavy meat cutting and chopping—there are better suited knives for those tasks. This is a lifetime investment you will not regret. ... show more

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautifully crafted 8 inch Chef knife
Color: Chef Style: Knife
Review Image by Jason Jason
A beautifully crafted 8 inch Chef knife, mine came out of the box very sharp as it made that fine scrapping noise when i run my thumb over the sharpened side. I have a 6.5 inch palm size (top of middle finger to wrist) and find the ergonomics of the cutting motion very comfortable. This 8 inch blade has replaced most of blades of similar size for my daily prep work or unless i need to do a specific cut that requires a specialized blade. Tsuchime finish on the top part of the blade makes separation easy for those deep cuts and prevents fruits or meats from sticking to the blade. ... show more
