Our take on the Shun Classic 10" Chef's Knife

The Shun Classic 10-inch chef's knife is a long Japanese-style chef's knife built around a VG-MAX steel core clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel, sharpened to a 16-degree edge. The extra length over an 8-inch chef's knife gives more leverage and a longer slicing stroke, which suits big cuts of meat, dense vegetables and volume prep. It is a light, hard, thin-edged knife, so it rewards clean technique and punishes twisting and bones. Against German-pattern rivals like Wüsthof and Zwilling it trades heft and forgiveness for sharpness and edge retention, and it costs more than most mass-market chef's knives.

Questions and answers

Is a 10-inch chef's knife too big for everyday use?
It is long for small kitchens and small hands, but the extra length gives leverage and a full slicing stroke for big cuts and dense vegetables. Many cooks keep an 8-inch knife for smaller jobs and use this one for volume prep.
How does it compare with the Shun Classic 8-inch chef's knife?
Same steel, cladding, edge angle and handle, just two inches longer. The 10-inch version gives more leverage and reach; the 8-inch is handier and easier to control for most home cooks.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry it promptly. Dishwasher heat and detergent dull the edge and can damage the Pakkawood handle and Damascus finish.
Will the edge chip?
The 16-degree edge is thin and hard, so it can chip if you twist through bones, frozen food or hard squash stems. Use a rocking cut and a proper board, and hone it lightly.
Is it good for left-handed users?
Yes. The D-shaped handle is designed to work for both left- and right-handed users, though left-handers should check the fit in person if they can.
What is in the box?
The knife alone. No sheath or block is included, so plan on a knife guard, a magnetic strip or a slot that fits a 10-inch blade.
Where is the Shun Classic 10" Chef's Knife cheapest?
At eBay, for $83.99, 58% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
