Premier Blonde 8" Chef's Knife

Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Premier Blonde collection is distinguished by hand-hammered blades that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives and light-hued PakkaWood handles that provide a modern look. This chef's knife is a true kitchen workhorse designed for comfort, ease of use and razor-sharp performance. Use it for everything from slicing meat to chopping fresh vegetables.

• Blade features core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless-steel.
• Striking hand-hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• Blonde-finished PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel end cap embossed with Shun logo adds stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
• Handcrafted in Japan.
