Shun Classic 8 inch Western Cooks Knife - DM0766

Shun Classic 8- Inch Western Cooks Knife. DM0766. Chefand#39;s Knives. This Shun Classic western cooks knife combines traditional Japanese style with the superb performance of Damascus steel and the elegance of ebony PakkaWood handles. Damascus steel blades are known for being tough and resistant to shattering, as well as their capability of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge. Pakkawood is constructed of carefully selected foreign and domestic hardwood veneers which undergo a process that creates multiple fused layers of treated hardwoods, making a weather, bacteria and moisture resistant handle that is dimensionally stable. The 32 layers of Damascus steel and VG10 super steel cutting core create an incredibly strong, stain- resistant blade with a 22 degree cutting angle for a stronger blade than ordinary knives. The 8- inch blade is slightly curved to allow a rocking motion with each cut, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of kitchen tasks, including chopping, slicing and dicing. This knife features full- tang construction for added strength and balance. The D- shaped handle is designed to fit perfectly into the curve of your grip for a comfortable hold, and the stainless steel accents add a unique finishing touch. Each Shun Classic blade features the Shun logo emblazoned onto the side, and should be hand washed to preserve the quality.
