Detail
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.
10-piece set includes:
- 4" paring knife
- 6" boning/fillet knife

- 6 1/2" serrated utility knife

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.

Rusty and chipped

My knives immediately chipped and rusted. Not worth the money. My cheaper knives works so much better. Such a disappointment.

SELECTING A GREAT NEW SET OF CUTLERY.

The handle shape (fit in the hand) and balance of each knife as well as its critical sharpening of the cutting edge were the factors that led my wife to select the Shun Premier knives. As we selected more knives individually, it became obvious that we would save money by purchasing a complete set plus one additional knife that wasn't included in the set. DGM

Chipped blade within 3 months.

Pretty disappointed. Knife chipped on the blade while cutting through a steak. Have only had these for a few months and already a huge chip.
