Shun Classic Chefs / Cooks Knife 20cm

Shun Classic chef knife 20cm

YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND IN THE KITCHEN

If there is one knife that you simply can’t be without, it’s this one. The Shun Classic 8-inch/20cm Chef's Knife is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The eight-inch length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Shun Classic's thinner blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef's knives.

The Shun Classic 8-in/20cm 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.
