Description

The Shun Classic Asian Chef’s Knife is an all-purpose knife. It’s ideal for meat and fish, yet performs beautifully on vegetables, too. Although the blade is thinner than the traditional chef’s knife, it still offers plenty of knuckle clearance when cutting on a board. If you’re looking for a lighter multi-purpose kitchen knife, the Shun Classic Asian Chef’s Knife is sure to become your go-to knife for a wide range of dicing, chopping and slicing tasks.
The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. The razor-sharp blades offer top performance. Shun’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel provides incredible edge retention. Blades are handcrafted of durable clad with Damascus stainless steel, ground and bead-blasted creating a flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
