A good chef's knife is where most proper knife collections start. This user-friendly knife in a classic shape will assist in all your basic food preparation tasks, such as chopping and cutting. A good chef's knife can completely change the cooking experience.
Chef Knife
Blade Material
The blade, sharpened on both sides, is made of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good) encased in 32 layers of Damascus Steel. This combination ensures the long-term sharpness and durability of the blade.
The length of the blade is 20 cm.
Handle
Unlike the dark-colored handle of the Shun Classic series, the handle in the shape of Japanese chestnut is made of light-colored pakka wood. Thanks to the high-quality resin, the handle is particularly resistant to moisture.
The length of the handle is 12.5 cm.
Cutting Surface
Cuts are recommended to be made on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they may cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Cleaning
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.
For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
Sharpening
No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.
You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a piece of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a piece of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.
It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to repair possible damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.
