NKD. My First Proper Chef's Knife, Shun Premier 8 : r/chefknives

Shun (Shoon) knives are part of a long tradition of Japanese blade making. Kai, the maker of our Shun Classic knives has been making blades for more than 100 years in Seki City, the heart of Japanese cutlery since the 13th Century. Zen philosophy holds that “shun” is the precise moment during the year when any particular food is at the peak of perfection, in harmony with the natural rhythms of the season. With this in mind, each Shun knife requires 100 hand-crafted steps to complete.
