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 professional-quality set comes complete with six essential knives plus a honing steel and bamboo block for maintenance and storage.
- Blades feature a 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-finish PakkaWood handles have 2-position design, providing a trigger grip for pull cuts and the perfect balance point for a pinch grip.
- Stainless-steel end caps embossed with the Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
8-Piece Set includes:
- 4" paring knife
- 5 1/2" santoku knife
- 6 1/2" utility knife
- 8" chef's knife
- 9" bread knife
- 9 1/2" slicing knife
- Combination honing steel

Use & Care
Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or 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 or citrus extracts.
- In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a honing steel will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly.
- With regular use and honing once a week, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen knives at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.
- Store knives in a safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.

Fathers Day gift!

Amazing set of knives!! I bought them for fathers day and my dad liked them so much he threw away 2 knife sets we previously owned. I should have bought a set for myself. But, I definitely I will in the future. Worth every penny!!

Stunningly beautiful.

The best knifes for the money. That’s all you need to know.

Beautifully sharp

Exceptionally sharp knives that are also ascetically pleasing too. The folded metal blades help the knives hold a sharp edge, while the walnut handles add to their beauty. The block has room for additional knives. I want the cleaver next.

The knifes were so sharp and light out of the box I cut accidentally cut my finger to the bone in the first 30 seconds for trying to clean it

A FOREVER KNIFE

I have owned this knive set for over 7 years. Love it! The knives are extremely shape, well made, and feel “right” in your hand. My only issue is you can NEVER put them in a dishwasher or dish water for an extended time as the handles are wood. But a knife should not be in a dishwasher anyway. The blades are well made and stay sharp much longer then other brands I have owned over many years. You will not be unhappy with your purchase.
