Japanese Premier Damascus 6" Chef's Knife

Equal parts functional kitchen tool and handmade piece of art, this gorgeous blade from Shun Cutlery brings all the function of a chef's knife, but with a shorter length that allows for nimbler slicing, mincing, and rocking motions. Each is hand-forged in Japan using a 100-step process — with a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX steel, outer layers of Damascus cladding, and a hammered tsuchime finish. And yes, it's razor-freaking-sharp.

• Blade (L): 6.25", Total (L): 11.25"
• VG-MAX "super steel" core
