Shun Classic Chef's Knife 8 in. DM0706

The Shun Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife is a premium Japanese kitchen knife designed for precision, efficiency, and versatility in everyday food preparation. As the cornerstone of the Shun Classic line, it serves as an all-purpose blade for slicing, dicing, chopping, and mincing. The blade features a VG-MAX stainless steel core, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and fine-grain sharpness. It is clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel, which enhances durability, reduces food sticking, and creates the signature flowing pattern. Ground to a 16° edge per side, the blade offers significantly sharper performance than traditional Western kitchen knives. The thinner blade profile reduces cutting resistance, making it lighter and less fatiguing during extended prep work. The handle is crafted from ebony-finished Pakkawood, shaped in a traditional D-profile for ergonomic comfort and control. The material is durable, moisture-resistant, and designed for long-term kitchen use.
