Shun Premier 10-inch Chef's Knife (TDM0707)
The Shun Premier 10-inch Chef’s Knife is for cooks who want more blade on the board. Professional chefs often choose a longer chef’s knife because it moves more product with each stroke, and the extra length makes quick work of large produce, big batches, and wide roasts. The thin, light Shun Premier blade handles nearly as easily as a smaller knife while giving you that longer edge. The wide blade keeps your knuckles clear of the board and carries cut food to the pan, and the curved belly supports a rocking motion for mincing. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish helps food release as you cut.
FeaturesLong, light blade: The 10-inch edge covers more board per stroke, and the thin blade keeps the knife easy to maneuver.Wide blade: The blade height gives knuckle clearance and doubles as a scoop for moving food.Curved belly: The rounded edge supports a rocking motion for fine mincing.VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects the core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from the blade while cutting.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handle: The handle offers comfort and control and resists moisture.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening, so the edge can be professionally restored whenever it needs it.

Shun Kanso 8-inch Chef's Knife (SWT0706)
The Raw Efficiency of Japanese Minimalist Design In Japanese, 'Kanso' translates to 'simplicity,' but don't mistake this for a lack of sophistication. The Shun Kanso 8-inch Chef's Knife (SWT0706) is a purpose-built tool designed for cooks who demand high performance without the vanity of decorative finishes. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this blade is forged from solid AUS10A steel—a high-carbon vanadium stainless steel that takes a screaming sharp 16-degree edge and holds it through hours of heavy prep. What sets the Kanso apart in a busy kitchen is the 'Heritage' finish. Unlike high-mirror polished blades that show every smudge and scratch, the rustic Kanso finish is designed to age gracefully. It hides the inevitable 'battle scars' of a commercial line or a rigorous home meal prep, ensuring your tool looks as professional as it performs. The blade geometry is unique; it is slightly wider at the belly than at the heel, facilitating an incredibly smooth rocking motion that naturally corrects technique and promotes better forward-cutting motion. Balanced by a full-tang construction, the handle is crafted from Tagayasan wood—historically known as 'Iron Sword Wood.' This material is exceptionally dense and durable, providing a secure, non-slip grip even during long 12-hour shifts. Whether you are dicing a 40lb bag of onions or precision-slicing a protein, the Kanso feels nimble, reduce-fatigue, and remarkably stable in the hand. Learn More$144.95 -
