Product Description
The Shun Classic 6-Inch Chef’s Knife offers lightweight, nimble control for everyday slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its compact blade is especially useful for small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods, making it a versatile choice for cooks who prefer a smaller all-purpose knife.
The wide blade provides knuckle clearance and helps transfer chopped ingredients from board to pan, while its curved belly lets you gently rock through fresh herbs and spices for a fine mince. A fine-grained VG-MAX cutting core and stainless Damascus cladding pair a sharp cutting edge with stain resistance. The ebony-finished, D-shaped Pakkawood handle is comfortable for both left- and right-handed cooks.
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.
