The Shun Classic 7" Hollow Ground Asian Cook’s Knife is an agile and all-purpose kitchen workhorse that brings the precision and artistry of Japanese cutlery to your daily food preparation. In Japan, this style is known as a gyuto; the versatile equivalent of a Western chef's knife. Its lighter, more nimble design makes it an ideal go-to blade for a wide range of chopping, slicing, and dicing tasks, while its elegant construction ensures it performs as beautifully as it looks.

At the heart of this exceptional knife is a razor-sharp core of VG-MAX super steel, renowned for its incredible edge retention and durability. The core is protected by 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel, which adds strength, stain resistance, and a beautiful, flowing pattern. This knife's defining feature is its hollow ground blade, with a unique concave bevel that creates an exceptionally thin and sharp edge. This grind reduces drag and friction, allowing you to glide through ingredients with effortless precision, and helps food release easily from the blade.

The Shun Classic Asian Cook's Knife is perfectly balanced with a durable, moisture-resistant D-shaped Pakkawood handle. This signature handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring precise control and reducing hand fatigue during long periods of use. Meticulously handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this knife is a testament to centuries of tradition and a beautiful, high-performance investment for any serious
