Product Description
The Shun Classic 7-Inch Asian Cook’s Knife brings a lighter, more nimble feel to everyday slicing and food preparation. Known in Japan as a gyuto, this all-purpose chef’s knife handles meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit with a narrower blade profile that still provides plenty of knuckle clearance over the cutting board.
A fine-grained VG-MAX steel core delivers a razor-sharp edge, while stainless Damascus cladding supports the core and adds stain resistance. The ebony-finished, D-shaped Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable grip for both left- and right-handed cooks, and a full composite tang contributes to its light weight and balance.
Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Shun knives draw on centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition. Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps, combining skilled craftsmanship with modern technology. The name Shun celebrates ingredients at their peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty, a philosophy that brings purpose to everyday preparation.
