Shun – Classic Chef Knife 25cm (Made in Japan)

Some cooks simply prefer a longer chef’s knife.

For them, we offer the Shun Classic 25cm Chef’s Knife.

The longer blade provides additional cutting leverage and is especially handy when it comes to cutting larger foods.

That said, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks—slicing, dicing, and chopping just about anything in the kitchen.

The longer blade also enables you to cut more product with fewer strokes—for example, cutting several carrots at once instead of just one.

This is especially important for the productivity of commercial kitchens.

Even though this is a larger knife, Shun Classic’s thinner blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef’s knives.

The Shun Classic 25cm Chef’s Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles.

Yet behind these handcrafted knives’ beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance.

Shun’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel.

The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold.

The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
