Shun Classic Santoku Knife 18cm White
Like a chefs knife, the Japanese santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means three virtues. This refers either to the three types of foods it works especially well withvegetables, proteins, and fruit, or for the three types of cuts at which it excels - slicing, dicing, and chopping. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuvereven in a smaller kitchen. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's versatility. This distinctive piece of kitchen cutlery performs beautifully and you'll find that the new blonde Pakkawood handles fit your hand like a comfortable glove.The Shun Classic Blonde series features our 69-layer Damascus-clad blades and PakkaWood handles in a light and beautiful natural wood tone. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is top function. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel forms the cutting core of the blade and holds its razor-sharp edge longer. The core is clad with 68 micro layers of Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that is ultra-sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as simply magnificent to behold.

This knife has it all. Beautiful, light yet so durable and strong, the handle shape is perfect- its actually a unique shape where it fits well in your palm. The blade itself is razor sharp! I mean It's a Shun! The bonus was that I was lucky enough to purchase this on sale! Worth every penny, and more.

Unbelievably sharp, most knives we've purchased required further sharpening after we got the home. This knife was so sharp, after unpacking we had to be careful. Could slice tomatoes and cucumbers nearly paper thin.

Just what you would expect from Shun. Beautiful piece to look at and just as functional. Super sharp, easy to clean and expected to last a lifetime.

I bought this as a holiday gift for my husband, who loves to cook. I decided on this particular knife due to its aesthetic, figuring if he didn’t like its performance he could always exchange it later, but he loves it. He says it’s the sharpest knife he’s ever worked with, never mind owned and he loves the look of the textured blade and the blonde wood. I’m actually looking into purchasing more pieces in the collection for future gifting.
The Kai’s Shun Classic White Santoku knife is a real eye-opener to me. Not only to mention that the blade finish is spot-on so that it cuts in a jaw-droppingly perfect manner on day one, but also the gentle D-shape handle fits pleasantly, about which I was a little apprehensive.What I like immensely about the product design is the shape of the chin - its rounded chin prevents you from stabbing by an accidental light touch by the otherwise sharp-angled chin. Because I had such a stab twice myself, I had to look for one like this model.With these two features, this kitchen knife allows you to have a speedier cutting experience without getting painful or tired.
We bought this knife to add to the set we bought. We are really happy with the quality of the knife, how easily it slices tomatoes and other tender veggies and fruit. The blonde color is gorgeous too!
Excellently balanced knife. Very sharp. Not meant for beginners.
Bought this knife several months ago to go with the other Shun Blonde knives I already own. I have my own Chef's Knife and I wanted to try a Santoku as I heard it suits the way I chop a bit more.What a great knife, it's super sharp, looks fantastic on my knife strip and works well if you like to slice in and up and down motion over chopping of a traditional chef's knife. Would recommend!
Finding a good knife is a personal thingThis knife is very pretty and feels great in your right hand the steal is very niceAnd it has become a favoriteI can’t ask for more then thatI would buy it again for sure
Sharp & light knife amazing for cutting efficiently. Four stars because very pricey and didn’t come with a sheath or anything besides the cardboard in the original box. I had to buy a separate knife block.
