Shun Classic Blonde Kiritsuke Knife | 8″

Known as the master chef’s knife, the Shun Classic Blonde Kiritsuke Knife delivers exceptional versatility and cutting performance. Ideal for slicing, push cuts and even rock cuts, this knife excels at julienning, dicing and portioning boneless proteins, especially fish. Its slightly curved edge handles vegetables with precision and gracefully slices cooked meats. Featuring Shun’s signature razor-sharp blade and a stunning Blonde Pakkawood handle, this is a knife you’ll reach for again and again.

Since the 13th century, Seki City has been the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. For more than 112 years, it has also been the home of Kai Corporation, the makers of Shun fine cutlery. Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, today’s highly skilled Shun artisans produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete.
