Product Description:

An Asian chef might find this to be the ultimate kitchen tool, as it's sharp enough to slice through bones and cartilage in one single slice, yet can be used for tenderizing meat or fine dicing as well. The extra-wide blade with a slight curve is a traditional cleaver design, plus it features the one-sided bevel and hollow-ground back side which ensures swift and confident motion.

Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun Pro knives rely on extremely sharp 2.5mm blades, made of a single piece of Japanese VG10 steel for strength, called the Honyaki style in Japan. It offers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Sharper out of the box than other knives, Shun Pro knives feature a traditional Japanese blade, with a one-sided beveled edge and hollow-ground or concave back. Japanese chefs in particular prefer the single bevel because it can be honed backed to its original sharpness, even after hours of slicing, using a whetstone. In addition, the hollow ground divots on the back produce air pockets that remove friction when slicing, so food releases easily without any loss of flavor. The ebony Pakkawood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a “D” shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. Shun Pro cutlery is suitable for right-handed users only and comes with free lifetime sharpening by the manufacturer.

Extremely easy to handle. Excellendt at cutting through raw meat and other things not handled well by a chef's knife or cleaver. I use mine in place of a chef's knife often because it is so easy to handle.

What our Kitchen Experts Say

When you've come back from the market with cuts of meat or poultry, take a minute to divide or cut it into meal-size portions. Whatever you won't use immediately should go in the freezer labeled with contents, portion size, and date frozen. It'll make taking a freezer inventory much easier.
