INFORMATION
In Japan, this knife style is known as a gyuto. It is the Japanese equivalent of the chefs knife. In other words, its an all-purpose knife. Its ideal for meat and fish, yet performs beautifully on vegetables, too. Although the blade profile is narrower than the traditional chefs knife, it still offers plenty of knuckle clearance when cutting on a board. If youre looking for a lighter, more nimble multi-purpose kitchen knife, the Shun Classic Asian Cooks Knife is sure to become your go-to knife for a wide range of food preparation tasks.

The Shun Classic 7-in. Asian Cooks Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
