Description
Simple, elegant, and effortlessly sharp, Benifuji knives offer a superb cutting experience. This cook’s knife is the perfect all-purpose knife for cutting, slicing, and cubing meat and vegetables.
Each Benifuji knife blade is constructed from AUS-8A blade steel that ensures excellent cutting performance, durability, and edge retention. The blades are subjected to a 3 Chamfering Process which reduces the friction between the steel and the blade for a smoother cut. The edge is finished with a special grinding process, resulting in a knife with a superior edge for effortless cutting.
The traditional triple-riveted handle is made from compressed and laminated Pakkawood, which is highly water resistant and very comfortable to hold.

Use & Care:
Shun knives are designed to be used in a smooth, slicing motion – never in an up and down “chopping”, piercing or stabbing motion. Imagine cutting wood with a handsaw, then slice through your food with a similar motion, intentionally pushing the knife forward and down as you slice, then pulling it back toward your body.
Do not use Shun knives on hard materials such as bones, joints, frozen foods or very hard vegetables like pumpkin. Using your knife on these or similar items can damage the cutting edge or cause the blade to fracture and break.
Care must be taken, as with all knives, not to subject the blade edge to sideways forces or twisting as this can result in chipping or cracking.
For more information, please visit the official guide: Shun Use & Care Guide.
Please note that the limited lifetime warranty on Shun knives is non-transferable and does not extend to normal signs of wear, rust, damage or breakage due to improper use or improper maintenance. Chipped blades are not covered by this warranty.
