A chef’s knife is a personal choice, that’s why Shun offers so many different lines and blade lengths. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge, and the layered Damascus cladding supports the core of the knife and provides additional stain resistance.

For cooks who enjoy the lightweight nimbleness of a shorter blade, we offer the Shun Premier 6-inch Chef’s Knife. This performs all the tasks for which you choose a chef’s knife, from slicing, dicing, and chopping to making rocking cuts through herbs. Yet it also offers the quick, agile performance and high degree of control that a slightly smaller knife can provide.
