Shun Premier Blonde Chef's Gyuto 210mm
As the most-used tool in your kitchen, your chef’s knife should feel like a natural extension of your hand. The Shun Premier Blonde 8-inch Chef’s Knife could be the one. Lightweight, agile, and designed with an exceptionally comfortable grip, this stunning knife is crafted for easy handling. Thanks to its slimmer blade, the Shun Premier Blonde is also lighter and less tiring to use than traditional European-style chef’s knives. Its 8-inch length and razor-sharp edge make it ideal for slicing and dicing a wide variety of foods. The broad blade keeps your knuckles safely above the cutting board and doubles as a scoop for transferring ingredients from board to pan. With its gently curved belly, this chef’s knife is perfect for rocking through herbs or spices to create a fine mince.
Beautiful and versatile, this is the knife you’ll reach for daily. The Shun Premier Blonde features:
- VG-MAX cutting core: the latest in Shun’s VG “super steels,” offering outstanding wear and corrosion resistance along with a sharp 16° edge on each side.
- 68 micro-layers of Damascus cladding: adding both beauty and durability to protect the blade core.
- Hammered tsuchime finish: helps prevent food from sticking while cutting.
- Blonde Pakkawood handle: contoured for comfort and control, with natural moisture resistance.
Each knife is meticulously handcrafted in Japan, blending artistry and performance into a single, elegant tool you’ll love using every day.
