Shun Classic 7" Granton Edge Santoku Knife
Where Effortless Prep Meets Japanese Artistry Imagine shallots falling into a paper-thin mince with a single, whisper-quiet pass. Picture delicate herbs staying vibrant and green, never bruised. With the Shun Classic 7-inch Santoku, this level of precision isn't just possible—it's the new standard for your kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki City, the heart of Japanese knifemaking, this Santoku is an all-purpose powerhouse designed to be the ultimate extension of your hand. Its blade is shorter and wider than a traditional chef's knife, giving you extraordinary control for close, detailed work while being robust enough to handle the three virtues of a Santoku: slicing, dicing, and mincing. Discover the Shun Classic Difference: The Effortless Glide: Say goodbye to frustrating sticking. The hollow-ground dimples along the blade (the "Granton Edge") create tiny air pockets, allowing food to fall away seamlessly. You'll move through potatoes, onions, and proteins with unmatched speed and ease. A Wickedly Sharp, Lasting Edge: At the core is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel." This incredibly hard, fine-grained steel is fortified with tungsten for toughness and extra chromium for corrosion resistance. It takes and holds a razor-sharp 16° edge far longer than other knives, meaning less time sharpening and more time creating. Beauty That Protects: The core is supported by 34 layers of Damascus steel on each side. This stunning, rippled pattern is not just for looks; it adds stain resistance, reduces drag, and protects the hard cutting core. Perfected Comfort and Control: Grasp the D-shaped PakkaWood handle and feel the difference. It’s designed for a comfortable, secure grip that resists moisture and provides nimble control for both right- and left-handed chefs. An Authentic Legacy of Craftsmanship: Each knife is a masterpiece, requiring over 100 handcrafted steps to complete. This is not just a tool, but an investment in the same quality and tradition trusted by professional chefs worldwide.
This is more than a knife; it's an invitation to elevate your craft. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a passionate home cook, the Shun Classic Santoku will transform your food preparation from a chore into a moment of pure culinary joy. Learn MoreRegular Price: $189.95
