Shun Premier 8-Inch Chef's Knife
The hammered finish is not decoration — it keeps food from sticking to the blade. The prettiest knife he will own.
Our rating
4.8 out of 5
The hammered tsuchime finish is not decoration — it breaks the suction that makes food stick to a blade, and you notice it slicing potatoes. The prettiest knife he will own. Same caveat: hard steel, so no bones and no twisting.
