    Combining the best of two knife-making traditions, this knife from our Shun Classic line has a thicker blade than traditional Japanese cutlery and a 22-degree cutting edge modeled after European chef’s knives. The thicker, heftier blade allows it be used for heavy-duty cutting tasks while still offering the superb edge retention of the Shun Classic VG-Max “super steel” blade.

    • Japanese-made chef’s knife with the 22-degree blade-edge angle of Western kitchen cutlery.
    • Appropriate for tasks such as cleaving, cutting through chicken bones, cracking crab shells and preparing melon fruits with thick rinds.
    • Thick, strong blade offers more belly curve for rocking cuts.
    • Broad blade is useful for transferring chopped foods from cutting board to pot.
    • VG-Max “super steel” blade is exceptionally hard and offers superior edge retention.
    • Blade is clad on each side with 16 microthin layers of high-carbon steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
