Shun Classic Blonde 8" Kiritsuke Knife

The Shun Classic Blonde Kiritsuke Knife is used for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife and offers top cutting performance and versatility, ideal for slicing and push-cuts. Julienne, dice, or brunoise vegetables with ease. It's also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, and particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins easily and gracefully and features a slightly curved edge so that it even works well with rocking cuts.

The Shun Classic Blonde series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped PakkaWood handles in a light and beautiful natural wood tone. 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.
