The Knife That Does Everything
From breaking down a whole chicken to paper-thin slicing of herbs, the Shun Classic White Chef's Knife handles it all with quiet confidence. 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.
Care and 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
