  • Detail

    Summary

    The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut-colored PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Handcrafted in Japan, the blades are thin and lightweight. This master utility knife combines the do-everything capabilities of a chef's knife with the nimbleness of a compact knife. Its slightly curved belly allows rocking cuts for superior mincing.

    • 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.
    • Walnut-finished PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
    • Stainless-steel endcap embossed with Shun logo adds stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
    • Handcrafted in Japan.

    Use & Care

    Use

    • Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
    • Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.
    • It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

    Care

    • Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
    • Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
    • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
    • Sharpen knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional. Shun offers free sharpening service; contact manufacturer for details.
    • Store knife in safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
