Imagine gliding your knife through a fresh salmon fillet, each portion emerging clean and even, ready for a quick sear or cool sushi roll, all without a single tug or tear to break your flow. That's the versatile whisper Shun achieves with their Classic 8-inch Kiritsuke, a master chef's favorite we reach for whenever the kitchen calls for that perfect blend of push and precision.

We love how Shun shaped this straight edge blade for effortless julienne on veggies or portioning proteins, with just enough curve to rock through herbs when the mood strikes, turning prep into something almost instinctive. Their VG-MAX core, clad in 68 stunning Damascus layers, holds that razor keen 16-degree edge through seasons of feasts, releasing food with ease so your board stays tidy. At a balanced 7.5 ounces, it feels light yet alive in hand, ideal for home cooks who crave pro finesse on fish, fruits, or charcuterie without the heft.

The D-shaped ebony Pakkawood handle fits left or right like it belongs there, warm and bacteria free for all day trust. Shun built it to honor Japanese tradition, and we're all in on that quiet power. We chose this gem because it makes every task feel like mastery. Let it sharpen your next meal.
