With the brand's unsurpassed quality and design, the Shun Classic Chef's Knife is an all-purpose knife ideal for a full range of cutting tasks.

This new blonde-handled version features an 8-inch blade ideal for preparing fruits, vegetables, and proteins.

With its curved belly, this chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.

Shun Classic Blonde's thin, sharp blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style chef's knives.
