Shun Premier Boning Knife, 6"

Summary

Crafted in Japan, the Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives and light-hued PakkaWood® handles that provide a modern look. This specialty knife makes quick work of boning and filleting meat and fish. Its narrow, curved blade maneuvers close to the bone so it's easy to separate meat, while the fine tip gets in between joints with ease.

• Blade features core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super-steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
• Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel end cap adds stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
