If you have only one kitchen knife, the Shun Classic 20cm Hollow Ground Chef's Knife is the one to have. In addition to top-shun performance, what makes this one special is the hollow-ground indentations on the side of the blade. They create small air pockets that reduce friction when cutting, making it easier to glide through the cut. If you've had problems with sticking, try a hollow-ground blade. Otherwise, use the Shun Classic 8-in. Hollow Ground Chef's Knife as you would any other chef's knife—for slicing and dicing small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods.

• THE must-have kitchen knife, with hollow grinds on the blade to help food release more easily
• Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion-resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge on each side
• Full composite tang for lightweight and perfect balance
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
• D-shaped ebony Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbour bacteria
• Handcrafted in Japan
