Classic 8" Damascus Chef's Knife

Shun's eight-inch chef's knife is ideal for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. The wide blade keeps your knuckles high off the cutting board, while the curved belly allows for the gentle rocking while mincing fresh herbs or spices. Thin and light, it's less tiring than other European-style chef's knives, and is made with a stainless steel designed to outlast any competition.

Shun (rhymes with "moon") is a Japanese word for the precise moment of the year when a food is at the peak of its perfection. It is with this in mind that the company designs its knives and other cutlery. With a long history of forging metal, the Japanese brand has made good on its promise, and provides a collection that lets you perform at your peak.
