The longest knife in the Shun Premier line, the 25cm handles everything from breaking down a whole chicken to slicing a watermelon in one clean stroke. Each Shun Premier knife takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel - near the edge, where the steels meet, an undulating line forms that echoes the hamon of a traditionally tempered samurai sword. The hammered tsuchime finish creates hollow-ground cavities along the blade that reduce drag and help food release cleanly. The contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood handle is equally comfortable in a pinch grip or full handle grip. As an authorised Australian retailer, all warranty queries are handled locally - no overseas returns required.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing
• Hone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge
• Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
