| Shun SG0404 Elite 8-Inch Chef's Knife |
The ancient traditions of Japanese samurai sword-making, meet today's state-of-the-art steel technology in the new Shun Elite series of knives by Kai. Like the traditional samurai sword blade, Shun Elite is extremely sharp and flexible; ideal for food preparation. But unlike the traditional blade, Shun Elite features a center layer of a new type of "super steel" called SG-2. This new "super steel" starts out in a powdered form. Under heat and pressure it combines to make a much denser alloy which in turn creates the finest molecular structure used in knife making today. The result is an edge that will hold longer than any other steel on the market. Even better for busy chefs. Shun Elite's superior edge will respond quickly and easily to a honing steel when it needs a quick touchup. For added strength and protection, the SG-2 is clade between two outer layers of quality 410A stainless steel for beauty and tireless handling. Shun Elite features an ergonomic handle of handsome PakkaWood®. This premium-quality hardwood laminate combines the beauty and feel of hardwoods with the strength and performance of plastic. Inlaid with a traditional symbol, the handle is also enhanced by thin rings of brass and copper separating it from the bolster. With this kind of beauty and performance, Shun Elite will soon become the knife chefs reach for again and again.

Customer Reviews
- I got this for my sister, and she loves it. The only complaint I have is that for the price, it didn't even come with a case! I thought that was strange, but the knife itself looks awesome, and according to my sister, it works amazingly well.
- Elite means a fatter handle which is nice for me because I have bigger hands. It is also a style (Samuri influenced), which doesn't have anything to do with how the knife performs but looks great. SG-2 steel is supposed to stay sharp longer than the VG-10 (Shun Classic) but we'll see. Ultimately you have to go into your local expensive kitchen supplies store and feel it. All knives in this range cut, I chose this knife for the feel. It feels very nice. But, that's personal.
- My husband, a CIA graduate and a catering chef for a high-end, upscale catering company, is very impressed with the handle and performance of these Shun Elite Knives. He owns and uses a 6-piece Shun Elite and loves every single one. The blades are super sharp and cuts things with super ease. He recommends that if anyone is looking for a knife of this caliber, first try the knives and see how they feel in your hands. The knife should, when cutting, feel like it is an extension of your hand.
He recommends that once a year, have a professional knife sharpener sharpen your knives. Never use the Shun Electric Knife sharpener. Use a Global Ceramic Steel to hone and lightly sharpen.Shun Elite 8-Inch Chef's Knife
