The Shun Classic Chef's Knife in 25cm features a longer blade that provides additional leverage for cutting larger foods, while also being versatile enough to handle a variety of cutting tasks such as slicing, dicing and chopping. Designed with a thinner blade in mind, this chefs knife makes meal prep less tiring to use than similar European-style Chef's knives. Its longer blade also allows for cutting more product with fewer strokes, making it more efficient in commercial kitchens. The blade is made from Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel providing excellent edge retention and is clad with Damascus stainless steel, making the knives sharp, durable, and corrosion-resistant. The Damascus cladding also reveals the layered steel's flowing pattern, adding to the knives' beauty. The knives feature D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles, which provide a comfortable and secure grip while working in the kitchen.
