The wide blade keeps your knuckles safely off the board and doubles as a bench scraper when transferring ingredients. The curved belly is perfectly suited to rocking cuts through fresh herbs and spices. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel — ground and bead-blasted to reveal its flowing, wave-like pattern — while the ash-white PakkaWood® handle provides a secure, fatigue-free D-shaped grip through even the longest prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31908235345998,"sku":"DM0706W","price":231.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_40a21597-cc95-4ce1-9d89-3f6787687653.jpg?v=1585133183"},{"product_id":"shun-premier-chefs-knife-254mm","title":"Shun Premier Chef's Knife 25cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eExperience the Shun Premier Line's Longest Chef's Knife, Built for Cooks Who Want More Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shun Premier Chef's Knife 25cm handles every task a chef's knife is asked to do, with the added advantage of a longer cutting stroke that makes quick work of large vegetables, whole fish, and generous cuts of meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 32-layer Damascus stainless steel cladding (each side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel (32° inclusive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Hammered tsuchime finish for reduced drag and food release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 25cm (10 in.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood® with embossed end cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Handcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere Ancient Craft Meets Modern Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Shun Premier knife takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete.
