Description
Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Classic Western Cook's Knife. This western-style chef's knife offers a 22-degree cutting angle instead of the 16 degrees of the rest of Shun's classic line. This less-acute edge provides additional strength – making it perfect for tackling heavier foods like winter squash and large heads of cabbage. The Classic Western Cook's Knife is constructed with Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree edge that glides through food. The D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle is durable, beautiful, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, and doesn't harbor bacteria. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.
