Description

Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Premier Grey Chef's Knife. This Japanese knife features wide blade that keeps knuckles off the cutting board with a curved belly that can be gently "rocked" through herbs and spices to create a very fine mince. The blade is also thinner than most western style knives so it's lighter and less tiring to use. The Premier chef's Knife is constructed with Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor sharp 16-degree edge. The hammered TSUCHIME finish is beautiful and helps release food easily when cutting. The stylish, grey, contoured Pakkawood handle is comfortable to use and offers a secure grip with excellent control. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

    • Work of Art - Beautiful Blade.
Color: Gray Size: 8"

Review Image by Felicia Felicia
I've owned one of these before, years ago. It was either stolen, or lost in a move. Either way, I am starting a new Chef job soon, so I immediately purchased another one. I used it every day at my old job. It's a workhorse. The 16° edge is razor sharp & cuts through pretty much anything effortlessly. Veggies, Meats, herbs, fruit. Etc. This thing is literally a tiny samurai sword. My knife is beautifully balanced, and very easy to index where the tip is. The handle is pretty comfortable. It has a swell in it so it feels good and secure in my hand. My only criticism of the knife is the handle is a little long. While holding it correctly in a "Pinch-Grip" fashion, there is quite a bit of wood remaining below my hand. ... show more

    • Sharp, Lightweight, TERRIFIC
Color: Gray Size: 8"
I hesitated buying a Shun knife even though I had heard wonderful things from professional chefs about them. Let's face it, they are expensive. Well, if you love to cook and need ONE knife that outperforms everything you have in your kitchen, BUY this one! I love it - it's very very sharp so I bought a pair of Kevlar gloves to use with it; it's lightweight, very lightweight, so your cuts and chops are easier with less wrist and hand strain; it's a work of art, beautiful Damascus steel and the handle is comfortable too. I have many Wusthof and Henckel knives and while I love them, they are heavy, hard to sharpen and have thicker blades than the Shun. I couldn't be happier and look forward to buying a parer and 6" Chefs knife in the future from Shun! ... show more

    • Incredibly versatile chef’s knife!
Color: Gray Size: 8"
Beautifully designed, super sharp, nice balance and just the right amount of heft. A superb piece of good design & craftsmanship. Cuts as good as it looks too. It’s become my go-to first choice knife for fruit and vegetable prep. Wouldn’t recommend this for heavy meat cutting and chopping—there are better suited knives for those tasks. This is a lifetime investment you will not regret. ... show more

An elegant looking knife that is extremely sharp. Wish I bought Shun knives a long time ago. They are a good investment for your kitchen. Forget all the goofy gadgets and invest in good Japanese knives.

    • A Beautifully crafted 8 inch Chef knife
Color: Gray Size: 8"
Review Image by Jason Jason
A beautifully crafted 8 inch Chef knife, mine came out of the box very sharp as it made that fine scrapping noise when i run my thumb over the sharpened side. I have a 6.5 inch palm size (top of middle finger to wrist) and find the ergonomics of the cutting motion very comfortable. This 8 inch blade has replaced most of blades of similar size for my daily prep work or unless i need to do a specific cut that requires a specialized blade. Tsuchime finish on the top part of the blade makes separation easy for those deep cuts and prevents fruits or meats from sticking to the blade. ... show more

    • Perfect balance

I talked to three professional chefs and tried six different knives. The shun knife has good balance, cuts vegetables and meat very well overall performance was above and beyond the other five knives, and they were all top name brands. I purchased this for my son he ismuch larger and stronger than I am, and it works well for both of us. ... show more
