Alton's Angle Chef's Knife

Product Description:

You don't need to be a Japanese sushi chef to appreciate the precision and lightness of this 8-inch Chef's knife. The long, slightly curved blade allows the home or pro chef to work in the efficient rolling motion for chopping and dicing, especially ideal for dense vegetables and fruits. The combination of extreme sharpness and unique, Damascus blade makes it an efficient choice for a lifetime of use.

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 high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its 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 can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable white birch wood and resin combination, has a unique curved shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens.

This knife is amazing! I purchased it as a gift for my husband who is a big fan of Alton Brown, and I'll definitely be buying the 6-inch version for myself (to replace my Wusthof Santoku chef's knife)!

You may want to note, however, that the product listing shows this knife as having both the Shun and Alton Brown logo on it; however, in reality the Alton Brown logo is no longer printed on the knives...Cooking.com did not know why the manufacturer made this change, but said that they would be updating their product listing to reflect an accurate picture. So, if you're looking for the

The knife itself is fabulous. I do a lot of woodworking that requires sharp tools and have learned to sharpen just about everything I own, so I know the feel of a well-sharpened tool and this is one of them. The balance is very good for the knife, but still accommodating to the angled handle; not yet convinced it is necessary. Nonetheless, it is still the first one I reach for, generally.

What our Kitchen Experts Say

Here's a trick to remember the next time you're cooking with something leafy like cilantro: to quickly separate the leaves from the stems, hold the stems in one hand and shave the leaves off with a super-sharp chef's knife.
