  • 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 paring knife delivers the razor-sharpness and precision needed for trimming, peeling, mincing and slicing fresh produce.

    • Blade features a core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
    • The striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps to quickly release food from the blade.
    • Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles have a two-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.

    Dimensions & More Info

    • 4" blade, 4" handle.
    • 2.4 oz.
    • Handcrafted in Japan.

    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.
    • Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
    • Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
    • Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

    SHUN DOESNT HONOR WARRANTY

    We have (3) Shun knives, one of which has developed spots throughout. The knives have been washed with only mild dish detergent and have always been hand dried with soft towels immediately. Only one knife has had this issue, which suggests a possible defect in the single knife. According to the Limited Lifetime Warranty, the warranty does not extend to normal signs of wear, rust, damage or breakage due to improper use, improper maintenance, accidents, loss, or theft. KEYWORDS DUE TO IMPROPER USE/IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. Since the knives have been properly used and maintained, they should be covered, but SHUN DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR WARRANTY. I will not be buying another Shun knife and would recommend others to take this into consideration. You are not getting what you think you are with the warranty!!

    Trusty, super sharp workhorse

    One of the best knives we've ever owned. This is our 2nd Shun paring knife -- the first one "walked away" from our kitchen during a gathering. We discovered very quickly how much we missed our old knife and bought a replacement when they went on sale. We consistently use only 2 knives for dinner prep -- the paring knife and a Shun chef's knife. They are fantastic: perfectly weighted, great feeling handles, and reliably sharp. They're beautiful too!

    Beautiful knife. Stays sharp for

    Beautiful knife. Stays sharp for long. If you heavily prep though I suggest getting a ceramic honing. They dull out after heavy prep for a couple of months.
