Shun Premier Chef's Gyuto 210mm
Your chef's knife is the workhorse of your kitchen, so it’s essential to choose one that feels like a natural extension of your hand. The stunning Shun Premier 8-inch Chef's Knife might just be the perfect fit. Lightweight and agile, this knife has a superbly comfortable grip and a slimmer blade design that reduces hand fatigue compared to heavier, European-style chef's knives.
With its 8-inch length and ultra-sharp edge, it’s ideal for slicing and dicing a wide range of ingredients. The broad blade keeps your knuckles safely off the cutting board and doubles as a scoop for transferring chopped ingredients from board to pan. Plus, the gentle curve of the blade makes it easy to rock through herbs and spices, creating a fine mince in seconds.
The Shun Premier is built for both beauty and performance. It features a VG-MAX cutting core, known for its superior wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and razor-sharp 16° edge on each side. The blade is protected by 68 layers of Damascus cladding, which not only adds strength but also gives it an elegant, layered appearance. A hammered tsuchime finish further enhances this knife by helping sliced food release easily.
The walnut-finished, contoured Pakkawood handle offers excellent comfort, control, and moisture resistance. Each knife is meticulously handcrafted in Japan, blending artistry with functionality—this is the chef’s knife you’ll reach for every day.
