## Description

Product Description Like a chef's knife, the Japanese santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” and may refer to the three types of foods it works especially well with—vegetables, proteins, and fruit. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. There is just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's versatility. This distinctive piece of kitchen cutlery performs beautifully and you will find that the new blonde Pakkawood handles fit your hand like a comfortable glove. desertcart.com A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this multipurpose Santoku knife comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a chefs knife and a cleaver, the tool features a wide blade and measures 6-1/2 inches in length. Versatile at its core, this high-quality piece chops walnuts as easily as it slices apples. Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knifes aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold

Review: Great knife - I am a chef and have used this knife everyday for almost two years. It’s light, agile, holds the edge well, and it’s comfortable to hold. Very good for the price. Mostly used to cut fruits, vegs, and some meats. I don’t use it to break down proteins in fear of chipping the thin blade.
Review: My go-to knife! - I recently added the Shun Classic 7 inch Santoku Knife to my collection of kitchen knives, and it has quickly become my favorite. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife is the epitome of quality and craftsmanship. What sets the Shun Classic apart is its versatility. The 7 inch blade is perfect for chopping, slicing, and dicing all kinds of ingredients, from vegetables to meats. And because it's made with high-quality VG-MAX steel, it's incredibly durable and holds a sharp edge for longer than any other knife in my collection. One of the things I appreciate most about the Shun Classic is how comfortable it is to use. The D-shaped handle fits perfectly in my hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. And the beautiful Damascus pattern on the blade adds an extra touch of elegance to my kitchen. I can't recommend the Shun Classic 7 inch Santoku Knife enough. It's a true masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship and a joy to use in the kitchen. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned professional, this knife is sure to exceed your expectations.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priceless Quality
*by R***N on November 24, 2022*

My first impression of this knife was how beautiful it is. I’ve never owned such a knife. I’m not a chef. So really I couldn’t justify paying the price. Again and again though I kept looking at it here on Amazon. Then also I love to cook but I hate to chop. My fingers played the guitar when I was young so knives and I don’t get along. This knife brings out my concentration. It so sharp it demands I focus more on what I am doing rather than doing what I don’t enjoy. Chopping has changed for me!! After just a few times using this knife? I look forward to what once was sheer tedium. Whoever you are who made this Shun knife I am grateful for this piece of Art. I know how time, care, design, thought, trial and error led to this perfection that covers fully my practical needs as well. Thank you Shun knives. I bought several knives here on Amazon and all the while I was looking for your company for just what I could not afford not to try. The errors cost me dollar for dollar by that temptation to pay less and hope what you buy is more. Just ain’t so. In this case I got a lot more than I paid for by buying your knife. Thank you Amazon. Thank you Shun.
