The Shun Classic 6 inch chef's knife is the perfect size for anyone who likes to use a smaller knife. Every chef needs a cook's knife, but home chefs with smaller hands can have difficulty using knives with long or heavy blades. This Japanese-made chef's knife is on the smaller side but has all of the attributes that make a chef's knife useful. It just has a shorter blade length that's easier to handle.

This knife is great for chefs with smaller hands because it's short and lightweight.
  • The edge of this all-purpose knife stays sharper for longer thanks to its patented VG-MAX super stainless steel core.
  • This high quality steel also makes it highly resistant to rust and staining.
  • 34 layers of a patented blend of metals on top of the stainless core add strength and create the beautiful Damascus design on the blade.
  • Limited lifetime warranty from Shun with normal use and proper care.
  • Crafted in Japan

MFPN: KE-DM0723
Brand: Shun
  • Blade measures 6 inches long
  • Blade plus handle measure 10-3/4 inches long
  • Forged from 1 piece of stainless steel
  • Extremely sharp edge because thick innermost layer of the knife is made from VG-MAX high carbon super steel
  • Extra strong and durable because of an additional 34 layers of patented, SUS410 stainless steel are bonded to the rust-resistant core blade.
  • These multiple layers also create the beautiful Damascus style design on the blade.
  • Rockwell hardness is 61.
  • Long lasting PakkaWood handle is crafted from resin and white birch, the hardest wood currently available.
  • Shun knives meet very high standards for commercial use. They have an NSF approval.
  • Limited lifetime warranty with normal use and proper care.
  • Hand crafted in Japan


  • MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand and immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
  • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts, as they may stain the surface of your knives.
  • For longer lasting knives, cut on a wooden cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
  • To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after using your knives.
  • It's best to store your Shun knife so the edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
  • We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
  • Shun knives don't need frequent sharpening because they are made from 32 extremely durable layers of stainless steel.
  • Lifetime limited warranty from Shun with normal use and proper care.
  • Made in Japan
  • Free lifetime sharpening from Shun. Pay only for shipping; $5 for the first knife, $2 for each additional knife. Please print and complete this form and ship to Shun with the knives you'd like to have sharpened.
