Extended reach. Precision performance.

The Shun Classic 25cm Chef’s Knife is designed for cooks who prefer the control and leverage of a longer blade. Ideal for slicing, dicing and chopping larger ingredients, the extended length allows you to process more food with fewer strokes — improving efficiency in both home and commercial kitchens.

Handcrafted in Japan, the blade features a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core clad in layered Damascus stainless steel for exceptional edge retention, strength and corrosion resistance. The thinner blade profile reduces fatigue compared to traditional European-style chef’s knives, while maintaining outstanding cutting power.

Finished with a D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handle for balance, comfort and moisture resistance.
