KAI Shun 6" Classic Chefs Knife

A SMALL, NIMBLE CHEF'S KNIFE

For a chef’s knife that is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable, try the Shun Classic 6-inch Chef's Knife. Like all chef’s knives, it is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. While the six-inch length is perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods, many cooks prefer this smaller size for its sheer nimbleness. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.
