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.

  • El mejor cuchillo que he usado en mi vida

Liviano, filo extremo, cómodo, los vegetales no se pegan a la hoja. Perfecto! Sólo hay que tener en cuenta que hay que cuidarlo y mantenerlo bien.

  • Work of Art - Beautiful Blade.
Color: Gray Size: 8"
I've owned one of these before, years ago. It was either stolen, or lost in a move. Either way, I am starting a new Chef job soon, so I immediately purchased another one. I used it every day at my old job. It's a workhorse. The 16° edge is razor sharp & cuts through pretty much anything effortlessly. Veggies, Meats, herbs, fruit. Etc. This thing is literally a tiny samurai sword. My knife is beautifully balanced, and very easy to index where the tip is. The handle is pretty comfortable. It has a swell in it so it feels good and secure in my hand. My only criticism of the knife is the handle is a little long. While holding it correctly in a "Pinch-Grip" fashion, there is quite a bit of wood remaining below my hand. ... show more

  • Pretty, but not the same as the old Shun
Color: Gray Size: 8"
Very nice knife looks amazing cute well. The first Shun i ever used was mind altering amazing. Razor sharp and very dangerous. I bought this one hoping it would be even better but stainless steel isn't as good as the classic steel. Granted this one will not rust, the classic needs to be kept clean and dry so it was much higher maintenance. It is already not cutting the same after only 2 days of use, although the edge comes back quickly with two strokes on a hone, this is the only reason it's not 5 stars. ... show more
