Chef's Knives - The Shun Premier Chef's Knife offers you the quick handling of a shorter blade with all the razor-sharp precision and complete cutting control you expect in a lightweight chef's knife. Outstanding for dicing, slicing and chopping with rocking cuts, the Shun Premier chef's knife is indispensible for preparing thick meats, tough-skinned produce and even delicate herbs. The Shun proprietary VG-MAX core blade with 68 outer layers (34 per side) of stainless-steel holds an incredibly sharp edge longer. The hammered tsuchime finish features a hollow-ground pattern that reduces drag and prevents foods from sticking to the blade. Shun knives are stain- and rust-resistant with a razor-sharp beveled edge for superior cutting performance. The walnut PakkaWood handle is infused with a water-resistant resin and contours to comfortably nestle in the hand. The beautiful Shun Premier chef's knife takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete and resemble hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. The preeminent blade manufacturer in Japan, Shun introduced its exquisitely styled and exceptionally sharp Japanese-style knives to American kitchens in 2002. Compared to European and Western knives, the Shun chef's knife is less bulky with the hand-hammered, thinner blade honed to superior sharpness. Shun knives reflect Shun's renowned craftsmanship and centuries-old Japanese knife making traditions.
