The Iconic Chef's Knife, Built for Left Handers
Experience the knife that defines a kitchen — designed specifically for the way left-handed cooks work. The Shun Classic Chef's Knife Left Handed 20cm delivers the same legendary VG-MAX precision and Damascus beauty as the standard Classic, with a blade geometry optimised for left-handed use.
The Specs
- Steel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 32 layers Damascus stainless steel cladding
- Edge: Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel (32° comprehensive) — left-handed geometry
- Blade length: 20.3cm (8 in.)
- Handle: D-shaped ebony PakkaWood®
- Origin: Handcrafted in Japan
Finally, a Chef's Knife That Works With You
Most knives are designed for right-handed cooks — this one isn't. The left-handed blade geometry means the edge behaves exactly as intended when used in the left hand, delivering cleaner cuts and more natural control. The wide blade keeps knuckles safely off the board and doubles as a bench scraper when transferring ingredients. The curved belly handles rocking cuts through herbs and spices with ease. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel, bead-blasted to reveal its flowing wave-like pattern, with an ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle for a secure, fatigue-free grip.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand wash only — never dishwasher
- Dry immediately after washing
- Hone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge
- Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
- Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
