The Shun Classic 8-inch Western Cook’s Knife offers a 22° cutting angle instead of the 16° cutting angle of the rest of the Shun Classic series. This less-acute edge provides additional strength that helps when tackling heavier foods, for example winter squash or large heads of cabbage. Nevertheless, this knife shares the thinner, lighter blades and beautiful construction of the rest of the Shun Classic series. It’s perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from slicing, dicing, and chopping to rocking cuts. This attractive kitchen performer features Shun’s exclusive VG-MAX cutting core for a sharp, long-lasting edge. Then 34 micro-layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade support the core and produce the beautiful rippling pattern on the blade. Moisture-resistant Pakkawood handles provide a comfortable grip and easy control as you cut. The Shun Classic 8-in. Western Cook’s Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery.
