When choosing the best blade length for a knife you should consider the shape of the knife and the way the knife will be used. For a bread knife or a carving knife, a longer blade is important to prevent sawing and ensure you can make a clean cut in 1 or 2 passes. For slicing, carving and bread knives your blade should be at least 8 inches in length. The Shun Premier 9.5" Carving Knife, has a blade that is well sized as it is long enough to be used on large cuts of meat, like brisket, but not so long that it is cumbersome to use or difficult to store. When shopping for a more specialized blade, like a vegetable knife, you may prefer something smaller that offers greater control and precision. Both the Shun Premier 5.5" Nakiri and the 5.5" Santoku are excellent choices for vegetable and herb chopping. These blades have flat profiles that make excellent contact with the board on each cut so they make quick work of vegetable prep despite their small stature. If you're looking for a versatile knife that can be used for everything we like an 8 to 10 inch chef's knife. The Shun Premier 8" Kiritsuke is another versatile option that functions well as an all-purpose knife. With a range of lengths available, you can find the perfect Shun Premier Knife to suit your culinary tasks.
