Originating in Seki City, Japan’s historical center for manufacturing samurai swords, Shun knives are heirs to a seven-century tradition of superior workmanship. Every Shun Classic knife is an outstanding example of form fulfilling function.
Both sides of their exquisitely forged VG-10 “super steel” blades are clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-steel surface.
A light touch is all that’s necessary for these exceptionally sharp knives. The pakkawood handle, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and phenolic resin, is D–shaped for maximum comfort.
The mini chef’s knife has a short length for small jobs and extra width for rocking and knuckle clearance. Perfect for mincing herbs and garlic, and for any other job when a full chef’s knife is too much and a paring knife is not quite enough.
Bonus eco-friendly 12" bamboo cutting board included. 4¼" blade. Made in Japan.
