Where Ancient Craft Meets Modern Steel

Each Shun Premier knife takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in layers of Damascus stainless steel - and 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 a series of hollow-ground cavities along the blade that reduce drag and help food release cleanly. The longer blade is particularly well suited to professional kitchens and home cooks who regularly work with large produce, whole proteins, or high-volume prep. The contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood® handle nestles comfortably in the hand whether used in a pinch grip or handle grip, while the embossed end cap adds balance and a premium finish.

Care & 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
