Description

The Shun Classic Santoku Knife is a beautiful, Asian-inspired chef's knife. Designed for vegetables, proteins, fruit for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The slight belly curve enables the cook to rock the blade slightly and makes this santoku as easy to use as a chef's knife. It is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut) and many cooks swear by their santoku for top performance.

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.

    An Amazing Knife

    This is the best knife I have owned. I prefer a Santuko knife for my utilitarian knife , and I was impressed with the weight and the sharpness of this knife. It is definitely a step up from what I’ve had. You definitely have to give this sharp knife the care and respect it deserves. It is a beautiful piece of workmanship.

    Classic SHUN quality and performance

    The 7" SHUN Santoku is just the right heft and size for most kitchen jobs. I'm personally surprised that a knife this large feels so right in the hand, has the balance, spine and accuracy to do most all sous prep better than the chef's knife it has replaced. My wife and I serious home cooks, so I ordered a 5.5" santoku for her much smaller hands. It just doesn't have the same utility as the 7" knife, and she's gravitated towards the 7" exclusely.

    Perfectly balance. Finely crafted.

    This is an excellent santoku. Im so glad I bought this size. It fits perfectly in my hand and makes those fine cuts and dicing much easier.

    An exceptionally beautiful and sharp knife

    I bought this knife for my teenage daughter, who is beginning to enjoy the art of cooking and baking. She had used an inferior Santoku knife but noted how much she liked the feel, weight and the utilitarian nature of that knife. So, I knew I needed to get her a high quality, well crafted Santoku and decided on the Shun classic line to start her set. She loves it!!!

    Great knife, great selection and service.

    I love this Shun Santorum knife. It is sharp.well-balanced, useful for alll larger slicing/cutting jobs. I also purchased the Shun Classic boning knife, and the Kai knife sharpener ( the manual one that slides out from its case). All products are GREAT !
