It's perfect for any paring task, from hulling strawberries to peeling an apple. It also handles jobs such as cutting small foods, like garlic cloves or ginger, against a cutting board. The three-inch blade is the perfect length for most jobs and the new light blonde-colored handles offer beauty, comfort, and control.

Such a pleasure to use, beautifully designed.. Marjorie. SEWICKLEY, PA. 2019-02-16 17:34:51

If you prefer a chef’s knife that is especially lightweight and nimble, the Shun Classic Blonde. Chef’s Knife is a perfectly beautiful choice. Like all chef's knives, this is an all-purpose blade suited for a variety of cutting tasks. The length is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. Yet many cooks prefer this smaller size for everything because it is so easy to use. The blade is wide enough for good knuckle clearance on the cutting board and makes it simple to transfer cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, this smaller knife can even be "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.

The Kanso 6.5" Boning/Fillet Knife is a rigid knife with a razor-sharp edge and it's adept at key kitchen chores. For boning, the narrow, sharp, curved blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from the bone. Even fibrous tissue is no match for Shun's extremely sharp edge. It’s perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade's 6.5" length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin for a perfect fillet. The contoured tagayasan handle provides a secure grip for excellent control. Shun Kanso boning and fillet knife is part of the Shun Kanso series. Kanso is a design principle based on zen philosophy. It means “simplicity,” but simplicity is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, QKA/Shun took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A highly refined, high carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso's Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of a wood called tagayasan or wenge, which is sometimes known in Japan as “iron sword wood.” the handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Full tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.

Very nice boning knife that cuts through fish (all kinds) like butter!. Ronald. LAS VEGAS, NV. 2017-06-21 13:30:06

A nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife sure to attract your attention due to its elegant and interesting shape. Yet this blade shape is quite practical, too. With its blunt tip, the Shun Premier Blonde nakiri is safer to use in the kitchen, but without sacrificing any of the slicing and dicing power you need when processing vegetables and other foods. Because of its straight blade, edge, and spine, the nakiri isn't rocked like a chef's knife. Instead, use a push cut by moving the knife down and forward while keeping the edge parallel to the cutting surface. If you cut vegetables for salad or stir-fry, you will simply love using the Shun Premier Blonde nakiri.

This is the place to start your Shun Sora collection: the Sora Chef's Knife. It's used for all the same purposes as a chef's knife-all-around food preparation. This shorter length is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable. Of course, like all chef’s knives, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks-slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. But the Sora Chef's has less curve than a Western chef's knife, which means it contacts the cutting board along with more of its length, so more food is cut per slice. With its curved belly, this Chef's knife can also be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Chef's Knife's Asian-style blade is light and agile. The Sora has a gentle roll off the tip compared to the large roll of a Western-style knife, so the Sora needs to be lifted less, making cutting more efficient. Once you try the Sora Chef's Knife, you'll wonder what you ever did without it. The must-have kitchen knife.

It's been two years since I've had this knife. Honestly, it is the best knife I've ever purchased. I think I would buy more... but I don't need to since it's still great. The blade obviously needs to be sharpened from time to time, but all great knives do. HIGHLY recommend.. Michael. VA. 2016-09-06 13:46:46

Like a chef's knife, the Japanese santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. The shun Classic blonde Santoku has just enough belly curves to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's multifunction versatility. This distinctive piece of kitchen cutlery performs beautifully and you will find that the new blonde Pakkawood handles fit your hand like a comfortable glove.

The ultra-versatile Shun Premier master utility combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the do-it-all capabilities of a chef's knife. The blade is slightly longer and significantly wider, so you can easily accomplish a wide range of food preparation tasks while enjoying the ease of use and agility of a compact knife. Extra width at the heel and a slightly curved belly enable rocking cuts to easily mince herbs and spices. A larger handle gives you a secure, comfortable, and confident grip as you work. The Shun Premier master utility's downturned tip (similar to a kitsune) is extra durable. Slice, dice, shred, or portion, you can do it all with this one very beautiful, very functional, kitchen knife.

• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total), support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade.
