Size: 8-inch Review Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade.
The large 8-inch blade of this Shun chef's knife makes it ideal for versatile slicing, chopping, dicing, and more. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as it is lovely, the chef's knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although it's so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
This review is from: Shun DM0706 Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)
I've cooked with this knife for two years now, as the sous chef in a restaurant. It's really the work horse of my kitchen; I probably use it twice as much as any other knife. Before the Shun, I used a Henckel set, which were perfectly adequate, but now when I pick up my Henckel 8" it feels blunt and a little unwieldy.
The Shun came out of the package with an incredible edge, and with proper care it keeps that edge for a long time. This knife is pretty easy to keep razor sharp if you steel it regularly. It does hard vegetables like turnips and rutabagas with a lot less pressure than other knives I've used, and it does regular dicing very quickly. I found that the curve on the blade was nicely suited to my chopping style, not too steep or shallow. The handles are also well-formed, and my hands don't get tired even after hours of prep work.
This knife is very pretty, but looks aren't really a consideration if you're looking for a utilitarian knife to use in a restaurant. It's performance that matters, and this knife delivered. Since purchasing it and falling in love, I've added other Shun knives to my collection, and my knife set at home is now Shun too. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
