## Description

Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 6-inch Classic Blonde Chef's Knife. This Japanese knife is small, light and extremely maneuverable. It's wide enough to keep knuckles off the cutting board with a curved belly that can be gently "rocked" through herbs and spices for a very fine mince. The Classic Chef's Knife is constructed with Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor-sharp 16-degree edge that glides through food. The D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle is durable, beautiful, comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, and doesn't harbor bacteria. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Review: Buyer beware, this knife is delicate and chips easily. Not worth the money and will never buy shun again! I have about 9 shun knives but now I will change to a more durable knife. I’m a professional chef, and these knives are not made for a chef, it’s more for looks.
Review: Great knife. Very slicey, fits well in the hand, holds an edge well. It's the new favorite knife and we have had a 5 inch Wustoff santoku for years that used to be. 8 inch chef knives are great but if you haven't used something smaller, try it. The smaller 5-6 inch chef/santoku knives are the real work horses of our home kitchen. The additional control is what makes them so good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

*by M***S on 23 July 2025*

My wife has small hands and usually uses a pairing knife for everything. This was small enough that she feels confident enough to start using it. Luckily, once she used it a few times she began to absolutely love it This knife is gorgeous and sharp as could be.. time will tell about the edge retention, but based on other reviews it doesn't look like it'll be a issue.
