THE SHUN CLASSIC CHEF'S KNIFE—WITH HOLLOW-GROUNDS

If you have only one kitchen knife, the Shun Classic 8-inch Chef's Knife is the one to have. This one is extra-special because of the hollow-ground indentations on the side of the blade. They create small air pockets that reduce friction when cutting, making it easier to glide through the cut. If you’ve had problems with sticking, try a hollow-ground blade. Otherwise, use the Shun Classic 8-inch Chef's Knife as you would any other chef’s knife—for slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.

The Shun Classic 8-in. Hollow-Ground Chef's Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the 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 behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.

Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core—this
high-end stainless steel forms the core
of the entire blade, all the way to the
cutting edge. VG-MAX is extremely hard,
which means Shun Classics can take an
incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus cladding—34 microlayers
of steel each side support the core,
add stain/corrosion resistance, help food
release from blade.

Razor-sharp 16° cutting edge—hand
sharpened to a 16° angle each side for
top performance; blade is doublebevel,
flat ground for easy cutting,
food release.

PakkaWood® D-shaped handles—this
traditional Japanese style has a slight
ridge on the right for a comfortable, secure
grip; ebony PakkaWood is beautiful,
durable, and won’t harbor bacteria.

Full composite tang—ensures Classics
are lightweight, yet perfectly balanced.
