This innovative master prep knife combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the functionality of a chef's knife. The long, curved blade makes rocking cuts effortless for speed and precision—perfect for handling a large volume of produce or proteins. Crafted by hand with over 100 steps, the blade boasts 34 layers of stainless steel forged on each side of a razor-sharp core. The resulting rippled Damascus finish lends durability while keeping the knife lightweight and maneuverable, and hollow-ground indentations prevent food from sticking. The deep blade allows plenty of clearance for a comfortable handhold on the ergonomic ebony-hued handle

Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing blades are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
