Shun Classic Asian Chef's Knife, 7"

A lighter all-purpose blade that keeps your knuckles well clear.

Shun's Classic Asian Chef's Knife is a nimbler take on the traditional chef's knife, tall enough for knuckle clearance yet light in the hand as it moves through meat, fish, and vegetables. A VG-MAX steel core clad in 34 layers of Damascus takes and holds a razor 16-degree edge, and the D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handle settles into the grip. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
