Its unique patterning reduces food sticking, while the ergonomic handle ensures comfort and safety during use. Measuring approximately 11 by 2 inches, this knife is a must-have for any kitchen, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. ## Description .com Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade. The 7-inch blade of this left-handed Santoku knife works great for chopping, mincing, and dicing. Like many Asian-style knives, its handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun handles are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, which provides extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless-steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. Hand washing the knife is recommended. The Santoku knife measures approximately 11 by 2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park ## Features - 7-inch left-handed Santoku knife for chopping, mincing, and dicing - Stainless-steel blade clad with 16 layers to produce rust-free Damascus look - Slight patterning helps keep cut food from sticking to the blade - Seamless stainless-steel bolster, D-shaped handle, and end cap offer comfort and safety - Measures approximately 11 by 2 inches; limited lifetime warranty ## Images ![Shun Classic Left-Handed 7-Inch Stainless-Steel Santoku with Scallops - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CkfTpAMQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced for what you get *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014* I've tried out a bunch of different brands of knives and I can't say that I'm all that impressed with Shun knives. Shun knives aren't balanced all that well. They are heavy for their size. And the handle is somewhat cheaply made. Another thing I don't like about many of the Shun knives is that after you cut so far with the knife it gets harder and harder to cut because the blades (not the cutting edge) aren't shaped to a good angle. With some of their knives you cut so far then the pressure increases. Then if you have one of their knives with the dimples, when the knife hits that section it slices through like crazy. Some might call that great. I call it horrible design. It makes the knife dangerous. If you get your hand on the other side by accident and a knife does that you're likely to cut yourself pretty bad. The pressure to cut through should be very little and the pressure should stay pretty consistent throughout the slice or cut. Shuns don't do that. About the only thing I really like about them is they have a pretty nice sharp cutting edge and use VG10 steel. There's just a ton of other knife brands that I'd recommend over Shun.For Western style knives I like Wusthof (excellent balance and finish), Messermeister (excellent blades) and Lamson Sharp (great feeling handles, great balance and American made).For Japanese style knives my favorite brand is RyuSen. They put Shun to shame as far as sharpness, quality, balance, steel quality, handle comfort, etc. Some others I like are Hattori, Maruyoshi, Echizen and Nenox.All you get with a Shun is a sharp cutting edge, nothing more. Shun is over-hyped. There are better knives out there for the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Will serve you well, as long as you treat it right *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016* This is a beautiful knife that is very good quality. The weight and balance is great. It cuts so well, that you could cut though a ripe peach and not have any juice drip. It doesn't damage the tissue that it cuts though, so it also is great for cutting onions, and making you cry less.It does have a very delicate blade though. Do not put it in a pile of dirty dishes. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Do not carve a turkey with it, unless you are careful enough to not push it into the bone. Also keep it out of reach of kids, because it won't stay nice for long. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Nice quality feel with precision *by M***J on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010* I bought the left-hand santoku version for my wife and she couldn't be happier. Being left handed has always given her limited choice in scissors and other true left-handed tools so she's thrilled to have one made for her. The wooden handle has a D-shape, where the rounded part fits nicely into the back of your knuckles. It has a very nice and overall high quality feel to it, much better than a similar Henkle that she also used for many years before this. It took awhile to get used to the cutting radius compared to her other knives, but she saves the Shun for the 'heavy' veggie work. Now she wants a bread knife..... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1347873-shun-classic-left-handed-7-inch-stainless-steel-santoku-scallops](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1347873-shun-classic-left-handed-7-inch-stainless-steel-santoku-scallops) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
