With this wonderful but very rare 8-inch (20.3cm) chef’s knife, (KDM-0017) on hand, pretty much anything’s possible. The multi-purpose knife is great for chopping onions and potatoes for a soup, slicing mushroom and peppers for a pizza, mincing garlic and fresh herbs, and much more. Its long sharp blade cuts through vegetables, meats, and fish smoothly and efficiently. Like other pieces in Shun’s Kaji line, the chef’s knife features durable construction consisting of SG-2 powdered steel, which holds a 64 Rockwell hardness and offers a higher density and grain structure, with no imperfections or weak points. The SG-2 blade combines two different kinds of steel–a nickel alloy and a high-carbon steel–for exceptional strength and resilience. The knife not only provides a razor-sharp blade with a hard, chip-resistant cutting edge, but it also comes with a beautiful, acid-etched Damascus pattern for a distinguished appearance. Other highlights include a full-tang blade, from the tip to the end of the handle, for added weight and style; a bolster-free design for easy sharpening; a double-riveted ergonomic handle made of Pakkawood with an angled end cap; and a comfortable design suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Made in Japan and embossed with the Shun logo, the 8-inch chef’s knife carries a limited lifetime warranty and should be washed by hand for best results.
