I recently added the Shun Classic 7 inch Santoku Knife to my collection of kitchen knives, and it has quickly become my favorite. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife is the epitome of quality and craftsmanship.
What sets the Shun Classic apart is its versatility. The 7 inch blade is perfect for chopping, slicing, and dicing all kinds of ingredients, from vegetables to meats. And because it's made with high-quality VG-MAX steel, it's incredibly durable and holds a sharp edge for longer than any other knife in my collection.
One of the things I appreciate most about the Shun Classic is how comfortable it is to use. The D-shaped handle fits perfectly in my hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. And the beautiful Damascus pattern on the blade adds an extra touch of elegance to my kitchen.
I can't recommend the Shun Classic 7 inch Santoku Knife enough. It's a true masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship and a joy to use in the kitchen. Whether you're a beginner cook or a seasoned professional, this knife is sure to exceed your expectations. It's now my go-to knife for all my cooking needs, and I'm confident it will become yours too. If you're looking for a high-quality, versatile, and beautiful knife that will last a lifetime, the Shun Classic is definitely worth the investment.

Shun“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection. Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see. |
Handcrafted in JapanShun 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. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world. |
Knife Steel is EssentialHeat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process. |
Quality and PerformanceShun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too. |

The last piece
The Santoku is the last knife added to the set of Shun knives that I started in the mid 80’s. Beautifully balanced like all their Classic series it’s got a bit more heft and depth to the blade than the cooks knife, allowing for better handling of produce when cooking for larger crowds. Like all of the Shun Classics the santoku takes a new edge easily and hones to a razor sharp edge with a leather strop doped with a buffing compound . An occasional use of a steel brings it back quickly
