Shun Classic 8" Chef's Knife

Shun Classic Chef's Knife, Blonde, 8"

Indispensable for everyday cutting tasks from chopping to slicing, Shun's chef's knives feature supersharp blades and comfortable handles that provide strength and control.

• The VG-MAX "super steel" blade is clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
• The long, slightly curved blade is efficient for both slicing and chopping.
• The exceedingly sharp cutting edge is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
• The durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and has a D shape to sit comfortably in the hand.
• This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.
• Handcrafted in Japan.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal, or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store the knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
