The Shun Classic 7" Asian Cook's Knife is masterfully crafted using traditional Japanese knife-making methods, starting with an exceedingly hard core of VG10 steel. This Japanese counterpart to the Chef's knife is known as a Gyuto, and performs impressively as a versatile multi-purpose blade. Utilize this unusual blade for all kinds of food, it excels at chopping, dicing and slicing vegetables, meat, fish, and more.

This process delivers a blade that resists rust and stains, glides through foods with minimal effort, and displays an attractive, rippled ink-like pattern called suminigashi. With a full tang and a razor-sharp edge, the Shun Classic 7" Asian Cook's Knife offers superior strength and balance in addition to remarkable performance and edge retention.
Shun s ebony-black Pakkawood merges the sturdiness of plastics with the inherent beauty of wood, and the resin-treated hardwood handle exhibits both durability and eye-appeal.
