    Summary

    The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered tsuchime blades and walnut-hued PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Handcrafted in Japan, the razor-sharp blades are expertly sharpened for superior performance and agile handling. This 10-piece set includes seven essential knives, a honing steel, kitchen shears and a sleek bamboo storage block.

    • Blades feature core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 micro-thin layers of stainless steel.
    • Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
    • Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles offer two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
    • Stainless-steel end caps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.

    10-piece set includes:

    • 4" paring knife
    • 6" boning/fillet knife
    • 6" utility knife
    • 6 1/2" serrated utility knife
    • 7" santoku knife
    • 8" chef's knife
    • 9" bread knife

    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.
    • Maintain cutting edges of straight-edge knives by regularly using honing steel.
    • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
    • Sharpen straight-edge knives at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
    • Sharpen serrated knives at home using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blades, or have them sharpened by a professional.
    • Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
