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.

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.
