With the Shun chef's knife, you can cut everything that is prepared on the cutting board. The wide and curved shape of the Shun chef's knife allows for an effective and professional cutting technique known as rocking. The tip of the Shun chef's knife remains on the board while you lift the knife over the food and slice it into the finest pieces with a smooth forward motion. This Shun chef's knife is ideal for those who have not yet worked with large knives but want to cut professionally.
