Couteau de chef KAI DM0719

The Shun Classic 8-inch Hollow Ground Chef's Knife is a versatile kitchen tool designed for everyday slicing and dicing of small to medium fruits, vegetables and other foods. Its hollow-ground indentations along the blade reduce friction and help food release from the blade for smoother, more efficient cutting while retaining Shun's high-quality construction and edge performance.

Advantages

The hollow-ground dimples create air pockets that minimize sticking and allow the blade to glide through ingredients with less resistance. The 8-inch length provides a balance between control and cutting capacity, suitable for a wide range of kitchen tasks. High-quality materials and manufacturing ensure a durable cutting edge and consistent performance.

Key specifications

• Blade length: 8 inches (approx. 20 cm)
• Blade type: Hollow ground (dimples/indentations)
• Intended use: Chef's knife for slicing, dicing, chopping
• Suitable for: Small to medium fruits and vegetables and general kitchen prep

How to use

Use the Shun Classic 8-inch Hollow Ground Chef's Knife like a standard chef's knife for slicing, dicing and chopping. Position the blade tip and rock or push through ingredients as appropriate for the task. The hollow-ground indentations help prevent food from sticking; maintain a consistent cutting angle when sharpening and follow manufacturer care instructions to preserve the edge and finish.

Recommendations

For best results, hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use and store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip. If sticking persists, verify sharpening angle and consider professional sharpening to restore the optimal edge geometry.
