- JAPANESE CHEF'S KNIFE: The Shun 8-inch Classic Chef's knife is the perfect all-purpose kitchen knife. It's ideal for preparing fruit, vegetables, meat and more.
- WIDE, CURVED BLADE: This Japanese kitchen knife has a wide blade that keeps knuckles off the cutting board with a curved belly that can be "rocked" through herbs and spices for a very fine mince.
- HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONSTRUCTION: All components are performance driven. The series features an ultra sharp cutting edge of forged Dual Core Damascus steel, 71 layers of high-carbon, VG10 & VG2, married to a beautifully polished stainless steel upper using Shun's proprietary Composite Blade Technology.
- BEAUTIFUL, DURABLE HANDLE: The grey finished, tri-lobe Pakkawood handle resists moisture, is comfortable to use, and offers precise control.
- TRADITIONAL, ARTISAN CUTLERY: Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, Shun knives are handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty.
Shun’s top-selling shape, the 8 inch Chef’s knife is the one knife that you can’t be without. Its intermediate length makes it ideal for most kitchen tasks, from preparing vegetables, cutting steaks, and filleting salmon while its gently curving belly profile allows the user mince garlic or herbs with a gentle rocking motion. The Kagerou 8 inch Chef’s knife features a dual core high-carbon Japanese steel cutting edge that allows us to give the knife a thinner profile, sharper cutting edge, and lighter overall knife to cut down on wrist fatigue when tackling mountains of food prep.
