4-in. - Santoku Knife  
5.5-in. - High-Carbon Stainless Steel   
Product Description:
Desired for its ability to glide through everything from dense, starchy foods, such as squash to delicate tomatoes, this 7-inch Santoku knife offers the balance and weight similar to a chef's knife. Its unique sharpness combined with hollow pockets of space on the blade allows food to release easily without affecting the precision of the slice.

Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it's rust-free. The ebony Pakka wood 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.

This is a great knife and I use it almost every day. It is well balanced and makes mincing herbs easy.

This is our 2nd Shun (the other is the 6 inch w/ offset handle) and once again we're extremely pleased with its performance. The weight is well balanced. The blade glides through meat, cheese, veggies, etc like butter- with little effort. The only thing to watch is that the blade is extremely sharp and if you're careless it's easy to cut yourself (learned firsthand!)

Without a doubt, this is the best knife I have ever owned. I have several Wusthof knives, and this knife started out sharper and stays sharper. This makes it so much easier to control, from chopping garlic to thinly slicing tomatoes. I've been giving out these knives as housewarming gifts to all of my friends.

What our Kitchen Experts Say
Don't you hate it when you're trying to slice a cooked potato and your knife just smushes it instead? Try using a santoku knife instead. Its blade has specially designed hollow indentations that reduce drag when cutting, so your knife will slice right through. Santokus are also great for cutting soft cheeses, slicing onions, and just about all your everyday chopping tasks.
