The 8-inch hammered stainless steel Shun Premier Chef's Knife takes a classic design and adds a touch of flare. Aside from being beautiful to look at, the hammered steel blade helps prevent food from sticking to the blade, ensuring an even more efficient prep experience.

The Shun 8-Inch Premier Chef's Knife features a well-balanced weight distribution and a  32-layer folded Damascus steel blade with brown Pakka wood and resin coated handle.
