Shun 6-in. Shun Steel Chef's Knife

Sorry, we're unable to find this item for sale. Perhaps you'd like to see some similar items?

An excellent starter piece if new to Shun, this 6-inch Chef's knife will be a kitchen staple that's hard to put down. Designed for chopping, dicing and mincing, the smaller-handed cook will find it's the perfect balance and size while still delivering precision results. Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun cutlery maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it's rust-free. The Shun Steel line features an attractive stainless steel handle, formed in the same â Dâ shape as the Classic knives, for comfort and control. The seamless construction provides a sleek look while also being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. Shun Steel knives are suited for right-handed users only.
