  • Known in Japan as a gyuto, this light, nimble knife is ideal for slicing meat and fish, and it performs beautifully on vegetables too. The blade is thinner than a traditional chef's knife but still offers plenty of knuckle clearance on the cutting board. Shun knives are produced by Japan’s leading blade manufacturer, reflecting the craftsmanship of a centuries-old tradition of knife making.

    • All-purpose Asian-style chef's knife with thin, lightweight blade.
    • Excels for a full range of chopping, slicing and dicing tasks.
    • VG-MAX "super steel" blade is clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
    • Exceedingly sharp cutting edge is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
    • Durable PakkaWood handle resists moisture and has a D shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
    • This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.
    • Handcrafted in Japan.
