Shun Classic 7-Inch Hollow Ground Asian Cook's Knife

Shun Classic 7-Inch Hollow Ground Asian Cook's Knife offers a broad, pointed profile for preparing vegetables and boneless ingredients. It suits cooks who prefer a relatively compact all-purpose shape and measured slices during everyday meal preparation.

At a glance

• All-purpose Asian profile

  Use the edge for produce and boneless ingredients, keeping cuts controlled and avoiding hard chopping impacts. The blade also has hollow-ground indentations along its sides.

• 7-inch blade

  This 7-inch format helps define the working reach. Match it to your usual ingredients and leave room for the cutting stroke.

• Patterned blade

  Layered Damascus cladding gives the blade its flowing pattern.

• D-shaped Pakkawood

  The resin-treated wood handle has a D-shaped cross-section, a distinctive feature of the Classic family.

Find your fit

Choose this shape by the grip, blade height and cutting motion you prefer. Pair it with a small paring knife when detailed peeling and trimming are frequent. Read our everyday knife guide for practical comparisons.

Care and storage

Wash by hand with mild detergent, then towel-dry the blade and handle before putting the knife away. Keep the edge protected in a suitable block, tray or guard. See our knife-care guide for a practical routine.
