The Shun Classic 7" Asian Cook's Knife is a versatile kitchen tool that serves as the Japanese equivalent of an all-purpose chef's knife. While its blade profile is narrower than a standard chef's knife, it still offers ample clearance when cutting on a board, making it lighter and more nimble without sacrificing functionality. With this knife, you can dice vegetables, slice proteins, and handle detail work with ease.

Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades that not only look elegant but also provide exceptional performance. The knife boasts a hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade, ensuring razor-sharpness and precise cuts every time. Its VG-MAX cutting core is complemented by 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side, totaling 68 layers, enhancing durability and strength.

The handle of the Shun Classic 7" Asian Cook's Knife is crafted from D-shaped ebony PakkaWood, offering both comfort and control during use. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and quality that Shun is renowned for, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
