PRODUCT INFORMATION
The chefs knife is the one knife no cook can be without. This all-purpose knife is ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The Kazahana Chefs Knife is based on its Asian counterpart, the GYUTO. It offers a wider heel and a fairly flat profile toward the heel, perfect for push cuts, but Shun also gave it a little belly from mid-blade toward the tip so that it can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. In Japanese, Kazahana means Snow that flickers like petals dancing in a clear sky, much like the finish on its beautiful satin finish blade.
