Shun Classic Chef Knife 10-inch (254mm)

Maximum Prep Velocity: The 10-Inch Workhorse for High-Volume Kitchens

For the professional chef or the serious home cook handling large-scale production, the Shun Classic 10-inch (254mm) Chef's Knife is a significant upgrade in efficiency. While the 8-inch blade is a standard entry point, the 10-inch DM0707 model provides the additional surface area and leverage required to power through heavy cases of mirepoix, large proteins, and dense root vegetables without fatigue.

At the core of this blade is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel, a high-performance alloy that pushes the limits of edge retention and corrosion resistance. This core is supported by 68 total layers of Damascus cladding (34 per side), which not only creates a stunning aesthetic but adds essential structural integrity and facilitates food release. The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree double-bevel edge, ensuring it glides through delicate herbs as easily as it breaks down a primal cut.

The D-shaped Ebony Pakkawood handle is designed for ergonomic control, tucking firmly into the palm to prevent rolling during heavy use. For taller cooks or those accustomed to the long-stroke slicing motion of a professional line, this 10-inch variation offers a noticeable increase in speed. More food fits under the blade per cut, reducing total prep time and allowing you to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout long shifts. This isn't just a larger knife; it is a force multiplier for your culinary workflow.
