The Shun Premier 7" Asian Cook's Knife is an impeccable mid-sized gyuto, and very similar to the Western Chef's knife. It offers great versatility for chopping, slicing, rocker cuts and delicate work such as fine julienne and brunoise cuts. The 7" size makes a great primary knife option for those who prefer a smaller blade to the standard 8" knife. It is also a great choice for an auxiliary or helper's knife. The Shun Premier 7" Asian Cook's Knife is forged with a thin, Damascus-style blade with hammered finish and a carbon steel cutting core made from Shun's proprietary VG-MAX super steel. It offers incredibly sharp performance with excellent edge retention. All Shun Premier knives includes and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.
