shun Premier Blonde 8" Western Cook's Knife

The Shun Premier Blonde 8-in. Western Cook's Knife offers a 22° cutting angle instead of the 16° cutting angle of the rest of the Shun Premier line. This less-acute edge provides additional strength that helps when tackling heavier foods such as winter squash or large heads of cabbage. Nevertheless, this knife shares the thinner blades and beautiful construction of the rest of the Shun Premier line. It's perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from slicing and dicing to rocking cuts.

• Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a long-lasting edge; 22° angle on each side of the blade enables this knife to handle tougher tasks like winter squash
• 68 micro layers of Damascus cladding look beautiful, support and protect the core
• Hammered TSUCHIME finish helps release food easily when cutting
• Blonde finish, contoured Pakkawood handle; offers comfort and control; resists moisture
• Handcrafted in Japan
