Choosing a chef’s knife sometimes involves compromise between agility and utility. For the cook who enjoys the lightweight nimbleness of a shorter blade, look no further than the Shun Premier 6-Inch Chef’s Knife. Not only does the knife perform all of the tasks expected from a chef’s knife, but it also offers the quick, agile performance and high degree of control that a slightly smaller knife can provide. Slicing, dicing and chopping is no problem for this sharp kitchen knife, and the curved belly of the blade makes rocking cuts through herbs a breeze. Each blade is made with high quality, advanced materials including a cutting core of Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge. Additionally, 68 total layers of stainless Damascus cladding on the blade provides stain resistance. Contoured walnut-colored PakkaWood handle easily rests in every hand and adds to the unique, pristine look of the beautifully handcrafted Premier 6-inch Chef’s Knife.
