Product Description

Shun Classic 8 Chefs Knife - DM0706 This stunningly beautiful line of classic cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times. In addition to their clad VG-10 blades, The Shun Classics also feature our uniquely stable D shape handle design. The D shape rests precisely in the curve of the fingers as they curl around the handle.

Shun (Shoon) knives are part of a long tradition of Japanese blade making. Kai, the maker of our Shun Classic knives has been making blades for more than 100 years in Seki City, the heart of Japanese cutlery since the 13th Century. Zen philosophy holds that “shun” is the precise moment during the year when any particular food is at the peak of perfection, in harmony with the natural rhythms of the season. With this in mind, each Shun knife requires 100 hand-crafted steps to complete.

Shun Classic 8 Chef's Knife

The Shun classic 8-inch western chef's knife offers the 22-degree cutting angle some cooks prefer. This all-purpose blade is ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The eight-inch length is perfect for slicing dicing and chopping small to medium-sized fruits vegetables and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan.
