Shun Classic 8″ Western Chef’s Knife

The Shun Classic 8″ Western Chef’s Knife upgrades the traditional European design to give you a true edge on the line, while still capable of the heavier demands of professional kitchens. Crafted for precision, speed and comfort, Shun Classic knives have revolutionized the cooking experience for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The Damascus-type blade is beautiful and adds stainless properties, while the very hard VG-10 “super steel” cutting core holds an extremely sharp, professional edge. Ebony-colored PakkaWood handles are shaped in the traditional Japanese “D-shape” for all-day comfort. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the fine edge and long-term preservation of the handle. And like all Shun Classic blades, it includes free lifetime sharpening and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
