Shun Kazahana 8" Chef's Knife

The
chef's 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 Chef's
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.
