Shun Classic 7” Hollow-Ground Santoku All-Purpose Kitchen Knife; VG-MAX Blade Steel and Ebony PakkaWood Handle; Hollow-Ground Indentations for Reduced Friction and Smoother Cuts; Handcrafted in Japan

Description

A Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife, the Shun Classic
7-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku is useful for almost every cutting need in the
kitchen. The blade, with a cutting core of Shun’s VG-MAX steel, is sturdy,
durable and the perfect weight for power and control. Hollow-ground
indentations on the blade increase ease of cutting by reducing friction for a
smooth glide and enjoyable cutting experience. The ebony PakkaWood handle is
D-shaped for a comfortable grip and easy control. The handle is water-
resistant and durable, perfect for constant use. The company’s name, derived
from the Japanese word for a food’s peak ripeness, embodies the idea of peak
performance in kitchen knives, too—providing cutlery of cutting-edge
performance made from high-quality materials. Shun cutlery is handcrafted and
hand-sharpened by skilled artisans to produce exquisite knives. Named “Kitchen
Knife of the Year” by Blade Magazine, the Classic 7-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku
receives rave reviews. A member of the stylish Shun Classic line,
this multipurpose Santoku knife comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need
from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a
chef’s knife and a cleaver, this tool features a wide blade measuring 7-inches
in length. The scalloped detailing along the knife’s cutting edge creates air
pockets during use to prevent food from adhering its steel surface. Leveraging
a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in
Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced
processes, a VG-10 “super steel” core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon
stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus
detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents
morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a
comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin
comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-
steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece.
Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a
lifetime warranty. — Amy Arnold
