Save time in food prep and spend your evening chattering with family with Shun's Classic 8" Western Cook's Knife! With a lightly curved blade and 22° cutting angle, opposed to a standard 16° angle, slicing and disjointing large cuts of meat, tricky squash, or layered cabbage has never been easier. The blade is crafted from high quality Japanese steel for an effortless cut and excellent edge retention and balance.

Shun Classic Series knives and cutlery use blades comprised of 68 layers of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX steel, which are each then clad in Damascus steel for a mottled pattern that resembles a fine wood grain. The result is a contemporary knife with eye-catching looks that resists corrosion and dulling, and won't break under normal use. Elegant ebony PakkaWood® handles complement the blades and provide critical balance and a supreme grip to enhance cutting, chopping, and slicing. Shun Knives come with a limited lifetime warranty and free sharpening for as long as the blade is owned by the original purchaser. Shun's Classic 8" Chef's Knife is a versatile tool for a simple weekday meal or a gourmet sirloin!
