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. The nakiri knife, shaped like a slender cleaver, excels for precision slicing of vegetables.
- 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
- 5 1/2" Nakiri: 5 1/2" blade, 4 1/2" handle; 5.76 oz.
- 6 1/2" Nakiri: 6 1/2" blade, 6 1/2" handle; 6.72 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 Premier 6" Nakiri

I have been a loyal Shun customer for years. I bought this Nakiri as I put my 5-1/2" Nakiri in my motorhome. The 6" Premier Nakiri has become my all time favorite. The longer blade and heavier but balanced knife fits perfectly in my hand and lets me speed through prep. Now I think I will have to replace my smaller Nakiri in the motorhome! These knives spoil me.

Excellent knife

Terrifically sharp and very well balanced. You won't be disappointed. Feels terrific in the hand and very nice finish on the handle and blade. Exactly what i was hoping for after seeing many suggest that the 5in version was too slight. This slightly longer knife is perfect.

Good knife, very frustrating shipping experience

My W-S shopping experience was quite frustrating. I placed an in-store order on March 14th for a Shun nakiri knife. When I received the shipment a week later, the wrong knife was sent. After working with customer service, the representative on the phone said she would send out a replacement knife right away and I just needed to send the wrong item back. Another week passed, and I still didn’t have the replacement knife – so I called again and the representative said that the replacement knife wasn’t set to ship until the return was received (which happened that day). I expressed my frustration because the previous rep said the replacement was being sent immediately – which did not happen. He said he would have the replacement knife sent right away. Again, it took 4 days to ship. By the time I got the knife, it was over three weeks from my order date, involving several touchpoints with customer service, and no level of urgency to resolve this issue. My initial in-store experience was good, but all subsequent interactions certainly do not leave me feeling like a valued customer. I will surely be re-evaluating my shopping choices when considering Williams-Sonoma in the future.

Great quality and beautiful knife

Very sharp knife. I tested it on a tomato. I easily thinly sliced the tomato without crushing it. The knife also has a good feel in the hand. Not heavy but enough heft to let you know you are working with a quality knife. From an esthetic standpoint, the knife is beautiful. The wood grain is lovely and the design on the blade is gorgeous. I highly recommend this item.

Best Christmas gifts

This knife broke down in less than 2 years

I had this knife for about two years and the blade chipped off in the middle while cutting squash. I am disappointed that the knife is pricy and it did not last several years. Poor quality and not worth the cost.
