Shun | Classic | Chef’s Knife 6″ | VG-MAX Damascus | Ebony Pakkawood Handle

Shun DM0723 Classic 6″ Chef’s Knife, VG-MAX 34-Layer Damascus Steel, Pakkawood Handle For a chef’s knife that is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable, try the Shun Classic 6-in. Chef’s Knife. Like all chef’s knives, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. While the 6-in. length is perfect for slicing and dicing small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods, many cooks prefer this smaller size for its sheer nimbleness. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, the Chef’s knife can be gently “rocked” through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.
