Shun – Classic White Chef’s Knife 20cm

Shun Knives from Japan has a heritage aligned to Seki City – the home of the Samurai warriors. Shun’s Classic White collection is ideal for anyone starting to use Japanese knives. Produced in a variety of styles, the Classic White collection features both traditional European blade shapes and innovative cutting-edge designs. Shun Classic White’s sharp blade is famous for both edge retention and ease of sharpening. Each blade has a core of VG-MAX super steel clad with 34 layers of pattern Damascus Steel on each side. While the patterned layers enhance the knife’s beauty, they also support the core and add stain resistance. Combined with the elegant, slim tapered handle in blonde pakkawood, the result is an aesthetic design with quality and functionality at its core.

The cook’s essential, the Shun Classic Blonde 20cm Chef’s Knife is an all-purpose utensil for a full range of cutting tasks, including preparing fruits, vegetables, and protein. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is exceptionally handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, this chef’s knife can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. The Classic Blonde collection’s thin, sharp blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style chef’s knives.
