Shun Classic 7" Asian Cook's Knife

The Shun Classic 7" Asian Chef's Knife is the Japanese version - also known as a gyuto - of the western chef's knife. It's just as versatile as the western chef's knife, but is lighter and has a thinner blade. The blade has a VG10 steel core wrapped in 16 layers of Damascus stainless steel and a super sharp 16-degree cutting edge. A bead-blasting process creates the beautiful Damascus wood grain pattern, which also reduces friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade. A D-shaped PakkaWood handle, the perfect shape for fingers to grip, backs the blade. As a whole, this knife is a durable, corrosion resistant piece of cutlery. There's no limit to what you can do with this chef's knife, from simple tasks like chopping onions, to carving perfect pieces of fish for nagiri.

Limited lifetime warranty. This knife is not recommended for use on hard surfaces such as countertops, tile, granite, marble or glass. Hand wash only.
