## Description

Shun Cutlery’s Premier 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is lightweight and agile, features an extremely comfortable grip, and makes this knife the easy choice for a variety of kitchen needs. The 8-inch length and razor-sharp edge are perfect for slicing, dicing, cutting and chopping a full range of vegetables, fruits and other foods. Additionally, the wide blade makes transferring food from board to pan simple and painless. The hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade and proprietary, strong VG-MAX cutting core with 34 layers of Damascus cladding on each side, create a knife that will blow away the competition. Not only is this knife effective at food preparation, the beautifully crafted tool is truly a piece of art. With its contoured walnut-colored PakkaWood handle, hammered tsuchime finish and embossed end cap, The Shun Premier Chef’s Knife is a gorgeous addition to any family or professional kitchen.

Review: A wondrous instrument. - I'll give it tonyou straight. In use, the knife feels immediately responsive; the balance between blade and handle invites thoughtful technique rather than brute cutting. The edge glides through dense vegetables and proteins with a level of refinement that reveals why Shun remains a benchmark in premium kitchen cutlery. The VG-Max steel core maintains sharpness far beyond the lifespan of typical stainless alternatives, and it can recover its edge with a honing session rather than requiring constant sharpening. Visually, this knife borders on art. The walnut pakkawood handle is elegantly shaped and warm to hold, complementing the shimmering, wave-patterned steel. Taken together—the patterning, the hammered surface, the polished spine—this is a chef’s knife designed not just to perform, but to elevate the entire experience of cooking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

Cuchillos caros pero EXCELENTES!!!! Gran distribución de peso, excelente metal, filo increíble y diseño verdaderamente hermoso... Pero por su precio no lo recomiendo para quien no sepa afilar adecuadamente con piedra, sería un desperdicio.
