Shun Classic Blonde 8″ Chef’s Knife

The Shun Classic Blonde 8″ 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. The Classic Blonde Series features light-colored PakkaWood handles for a striking new look; the traditional Japanese “D-shape” ensures 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.
