If there is one knife that you simply can’t be without, it’s this one. The Shun Classic 20cm Chef's Knife is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from the board to the pan. With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Shun Classic's thinner blades make it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef's knives. The tradition and skills handed down from the swordsmiths 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.
