Shun DM0719 Shun Classic Hollow Edge Chef's Knife 8-inch

There isn't much this 8-in. chef's knife can't handle when it comes to prep work. It's large enough to slice through hard or hard-to-manage foods like squash, eggplant and melon. Use the chef's knife to cut, cube and chop all types of meat or poultry as well. The blade is made of rust- and stain-free super steel, with 16 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade. Indentations on the side help prevent food from sticking as you slice. The handle is made of Pakka Wood known for its beauty and durability, and features a unique "D" shape, a contour that makes for a most comfortable grip. Kershaw-KAI has been Japan's premier blade producer for almost a century, with factories located in Seki City, Japan's famous samurai sword-making center. Bladesmiths of Seki have been carrying on the tradition of fine cutlery for more than 700 years.
