The Shun Classic 8 inch hollow-ground chef's knife is a useful medium-length knife for any chef, professional or home. The ultra-sharp Shun blade and hollow-ground pockets enable you to quickly chop anything on your cutting board. This cooks knife is perfectly balanced and the stainless steel-clad blade is lighter and thinner than most knives this length. This enables even the smallest of chefs to work without hand fatigue.
