Amazon.com Product Description
Offering a graceful elegance, this 8-inch chef's knife from the Shun Steel line is made with a seamless, one-piece stainless-steel bolster, handle, and end cap. The workhorse of all knives, this chef's knife provides all-around versatility that's great for cleaning vegetables, mincing herbs and chopping meat. The blade is made from VG-10 steel with a high carbon content for a higher density. This allows the steel to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge. It's clad in layers of high-carbon stainless steel that protect the VG-10 and give the Shun its Damascus-look pattern, which also helps ensure that foods stick less during slicing and dicing--resulting in faster and easier food preparation.

Shun knives rely on traditional Japanese construction methods, including a full composite tang, in order to ensure the best balance. The D-shape of the stainless steel handle is designed to tuck into the palm and provide more control to the user by leaving less space between handle and hand (the handle also fits nicely between the thumb and fingers of a left-handed user). This knife are backed by a lifetime warranty. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended. Made in Japan.

Customer Reviews

Best knife ever
This is an amazing knife. It's perfect for my hand. In fact, it feels like part of my hand. I have some good knives, but I have a feeling I'll be seeing less of them now. The cuts I can make with this knife are perfect. Sharpness, balance, beauty- what more could you want in a knife?

Amazing!
Unsurpassed quality and amazing performance. A lifetime knife you'll be so pleased you purchased this one!!!

Amazing knife
This is a freaking unbelievable knife. I have recently been updating my knife set and came across this knife as a daily deal and picked it up. I was a little nervous about the metal handle, as all my other Shuns have the pakka wood handle, which I happen to really enjoy, but I have not had any issues with slipping. It does have the D-shaped handle that fits nicely in your hand. The blade has an amazing sharp edge and simply glides through anything you are trying to cut. It is a pleasure to use this knife. It is also a beautiful looking knife. I have had so many people see it hanging on the wall and just stare at the damascus finish, which resembles a wood grain. Overall, this is an amazing knife and I can recommend it to anyone looking for a knife that is both functional and beautiful.
