The Shun Reserve 6 inch hollow-ground chef's knife is made in Japan with a razor-sharp edge for effortless chopping. The medium-length blade has a curved edge that makes it the perfect knife for chopping vegetables or cutting boneless meats. This Reserve chef's knife from Shun also has a great Damascus look on the blade because the knife's core is clad with 32 layers of stainless steel. This also protects the blade from rust and other damage. The Reserve chef's knife has a long-lasting edge as well thanks to the super hard SG-2 powdered steel core. Shun knives come with a lifetime warranty with normal use and proper care.
