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.
