Shun Classic Blonde 8" Chef's Knife

The Shun Classic Blonde 8" Chef’s Knife is the ultimate all-purpose kitchen tool, designed for a wide range of cutting tasks from slicing fruits and vegetables to preparing proteins. Its 8-inch blade strikes the perfect balance, offering versatility for home cooks and professional chefs. The wide blade keeps knuckles clear of the cutting board and simplifies transferring food to pans, while the curved belly allows gentle rocking for finely mincing herbs or spices. Lighter and less tiring than European-style chef’s knives, this chef’s knife combines a thin, razor-sharp blade with exceptional agility.

Handcrafted in Japan, the knife features a VG-MAX cutting core, renowned for its wear and corrosion resistance, ensuring a long-lasting 16° edge. Surrounded by 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total), the blade offers stain resistance and smooth food release, with a stunning layered pattern. The D-shaped blonde PakkaWood® handle, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, is durable, bacteria-resistant, and perfectly balanced with a full composite tang. Hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine condition. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this knife embodies Shun’s artisanal excellence.
