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.

Features

• Long, 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.

Tasks It Handles Well

• Batch prep of onions, carrots, and celery
• Halving melons, cabbage, and winter squash
• Chopping large bunches of herbs and greens
• Slicing boneless roasts and large fish fillets
