PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Shun Classic 8-in. Western Cooks Knife offers a 22 degrees cutting angle instead of the 16 degrees cutting angle of the rest of the Shun Classic line. This less-acute edge provides additional strength that helps when tackling heavier foods, for example winter squash or large heads of cabbage. Nevertheless, this knife shares the thinner blades and beautiful construction of the rest of the Shun Classic line. Its perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks, from slicing and dicing to rocking cuts.
Ideal for heavier duty kitchen tasks

D-shaped ebony-finished Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and wont harbor bacteria
Full composite tang for light weight and perfect balance
