The 6-inch Shun Classic could also be called the Versatility knife—featuring a narrow blade that's less intimidating than a Chef's, yet equally useful. Cut crusts off bread, produce thin slices of onion (without the tears!), or transform chicken breasts into strips with exceptional precision. Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable white birch wood and resin combination, has a unique curved shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens.
