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.
Dimensions & More Info
- 6 1/2" blade, 5" handle.

Shun makes knives that stay sharpe longer than German blades. A joy to use, makes quick work of meal prep.

Best handle and balance

I held every knife they had in stock. This handle felt like an extension of my hand. The shape was perfect, and the weight/balance was superb. After about 6 weeks, I'm just in love. It's also BEAUTIFUL to boot!

Going to buy a second.

I have a block of Shun knives I picked piecemeal and this is my absolute favorite. I also have a 9" chef from the premier and the 7" Santoku from the classic series. They are all good but when I reach for the block, 9 times out of 10 this is my go to. My current one got a little damaged from a fall (chipped the tip) and I will absolutely be getting this knife a second time if it goes on discount.

Shun is Great

I bought this as a gift as I have been using mine for years. It's a good 24/7 knife in that it can do a lot for you and Shun is fantastic. You can send it to them for sharpening (they charge a fee) but many William Sonoma stores will also do it for you and often times without a charge for one knofe.

Christmas gift

This knife is a Christmas present for my brother. I love my Shun knives so much I gave him one because he deserves the best but would never buy it for himself

All Shuns are worth it

I personally use a Shun Classic Santoku Chef knife from Shun for 85-90% of my cuts. I have about 10 different knives from Shun. They are ALL versatile and hold an edge really well. I try to hone the knives after about every 10th use or anytime I cut a challenging vegetable that has a thick or rough skin. I get my knives professionally sharpened every year from an authorized Shun dealer that operates out of our famers market.

Sharp and quality product.

Super sharp. I like the right. The curvature is something you have to get used to.
