The most versatile knife in any block, the 8-inch Chef's is an all-purpose blade that's the perfect length for slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing small and medium-sized foods - from strawberries to onions and eggplants. The rounded belly of this knife can be gently rocked through garlic and fresh herbs to produce a very fine mince. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board, and makes it easy to transfer ingredients from the board to the cooking pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e Kanso \u003c\/strong\u003e line of Shun knives was designed based on Zen philosophy, and its name means \"simplicity.\" Shun took only the most essential elements of a knife - high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance and precision cutting control - and created a simple line of knives that provides simply perfect performance. The Tagayasan hard wood handle is contoured for the chef's grip and precision cutting. Tagayasan, known as \"iron sword wood,\" was traditionally used in crafting Samurai sword handles. This wood is naturally dense, durable and beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Features of the Shun Kanso 8\" Chef's Knife: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUS10A stainless steel blade - a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes an edge and holds it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeritage blade finish that hides scratches and gives the knife a natural look that improves with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-degree cutting angle on each side cuts cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-tang construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagayasan wood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand crafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: \u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngraving: \u003c\/strong\u003eUp to 12 characters can be laser engraved on  the Shun Kanso 8\" Chef's Knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e A Bit About Shun \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShun kitchen knives are made by KAI Corporation, which has been handcrafting blades in the spirit of the legendary sword smiths of Seki City, Japan for over 100 years.
