For a chefs knife that is particularly lightweight and highly manoeuvrable, try the Shun Classic 15cm Chefs Knife. Like all chefs knives, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. While the 15cm length is perfect for slicing and dicing small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods, many cooks prefer this smaller size for its sheer nimbleness. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, the Chefs knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. The tradition and skills handed down from the sword-smiths of ancient Japan have always been an inspiration and integral part of every Kai product since the company's foundation. Similarly Kai Shun kitchen knives are made using a combination of state of the art technology and long experience, and are highly esteemed all over the world – each Shun knife is handcrafted in Japan and requires at least 100 meticulous steps to complete. All Shun Classic knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.
