Shun Classic
Chef's 6"
For a chef's
knife that is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable, try the Shun
Classic 6-in. Chef's Knife. Like all chef's knives, it is an all-purpose blade
ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. While the 6-in. length is perfect
for slicing and dicing 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.
