Definitely intimidating at first, this 10-inch chef's knife from the fabulous Shun Elite collection will soon become a favorite for those hard-to-tackle jobs. The blade is so sharp it practically melts through even the toughest winter squash and reduces a watermelon to manageable slices in no time. Like all Elite knives, this one features a sleek black PakkaWood handle, made of a hardwood-resin fusion, which showcases an inlaid traditional Japanese emblem and fine rings of copper and brass near the bolster. A distinctive flourish, called a "hamon," along the edge of the blade recalls the samurai swords once made in Seki City, Japan, where Shun Elites are handcrafted. Any chef would feel honored to receive this exceptional, gift-boxed knife.
