Shun Classic Chef Gyuto 230mm
Designed for control and efficiency, the 9-inch Multi-Prep Knife bridges the gap between a utility knife and a chef’s knife. Its long, narrow blade offers agility for detail work while maintaining enough length and power for larger prep tasks.
From trimming proteins and portioning vegetables to slicing fruit with precision, this is the knife that naturally becomes part of your daily workflow.
The slim profile reduces drag and moves smoothly through ingredients, while the slight curve in the edge allows for fluid slicing motions when needed.
The kiritsuke-style tip enhances:
-
Fine detail work
-
Controlled trimming
-
Clean, accurate cuts
-
Precision around joints and smaller ingredients
It’s equally comfortable breaking down poultry as it is slicing herbs or trimming silver skin.
At the heart of the blade is a high-performance VG-MAX steel core, chosen for:
-
Excellent wear resistance
-
Strong corrosion resistance
-
Fine grain structure for refined sharpening
-
Long-lasting edge retention
The core is clad in 34 layers of stainless Damascus per side (68 total layers), which:
-
Add durability and structural support
-
Improve stain resistance
-
Reduce friction and help food release
-
Create a subtle layered finish
The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16° double bevel, delivering a clean, efficient cutting experience right out of the box.
The ebony-finished D-shaped PakkaWood handle is:
-
Comfortable for extended prep
-
Moisture resistant and durable
-
Hygienic and easy to maintain
-
Designed for both left- and right-handed users
Lightweight yet stable, the construction offers excellent balance and control, making it ideal for both quick tasks and longer prep sessions.
If you’re looking for a versatile, do-it-all blade that leans toward precision without sacrificing power, this is it.
