Shun Classic 6" Kiritsuke Knife

The Shun Classic 6" Kiritsuke is a compact gyuto-style chef’s knife, designed to handle the same everyday tasks as a full-size chef’s knife—slicing proteins, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs, and general prep—with extra agility and control. As a smaller version of Shun’s 8" Kiritsuke Gyuto, it pairs a flatter edge for efficient push cutting with a kiritsuke-style pointed tip for precise detail work and clean, accurate cuts.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. The razor-sharp blades offer top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel provides incredible edge retention. Blades are handcrafted of durable clad with Damascus stainless steel, ground and bead-blasted creating a 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 hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
