The Shun Classic Western Chef's Knife is perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from slicing and dicing to rocking cuts.

The knife offers a 22° cutting angle instead of the 16° cutting angle of the rest of the Shun Classic line, providing additional strength that helps when tackling heavier foods, for example winter squash or large heads of cabbage.
