Description
This powerful kitchen multi-tasker is perfect for dicing and chopping vegetables, carving meats and more. A curved belly allows the knife to be rocked through fresh herbs or aromatics for fine mincing, while the broad blade is useful for moving chopped foods from board to pot.
Combining the best of two knife-making traditions, this knife features a blade thicker than those found on most Japanese cutlery and a 22-degree edge suitable for heavy-duty cutting tasks. Shun Classic’s tasteful, contemporary design features a beautiful Damascus-clad blade and a D-shaped pakkawood handle.

great knife
great knife, but heavier blade for those jobs of heavy protein or bones. Not for delicate cuts

Beautiful and Pro quality all the way
This 8-in. Shun Classic Western Chef's Knife is a beauty and a pleasure to use. It is superbly made with the western style chef's knife blade that I prefer and the Japanese-style handle which I also prefer. The blade is sharpened to perfection. The knife overall is heavier than I expected based on similar knives I have from other manufacturers. I take this as an indicator of its professional quality and strength to get even tough jobs done. It's a dream come true.

My Favorite Knife
After a knife skills class at the Culinary Institute in SF, I decided that at 62 I deserved a really good knife ~ a very tough decision with all the choices - but I LOVE it!!

Gift for my brother
My brother loves it. Says it cuts tomatoes like a hot knife thru butter, no taring or crushing. Very sharp!
