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 santoku knife is indispensable for chopping and slicing fresh vegetables and small cuts of meat, combining the benefits of a chef’s knife and cleaver in one.
- 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" santoku: 5 1/2" blade; 4 1/2" handle; 4.96 oz.

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.

Doesn't hold up

A large chip broke out from the blade within a year of regular use following exact care and maintenance recommended. Reached out to williams sonoma support and basically got told I was out of luck and sent a link to reach out to shun who 'might' be able to help. What a disappointment that this expensive knife did not hold up longer than 1 year!

Fantastic fit and a shorter blade

Fantastic knife. I went in looking for a shorter blade and a handle that better fits my hand/grip and the way I chop. After speaking with a highly knowledgeable WS staff, we ended up with a few choices and this being my final decision. No regrets!

What took me so long to discover Shun?!

What took me so long? This is by far the best knife I have ever used. It even slices tomatoes like butter. The weight and feel are perfect even though I am a petite person. I love this knife and hope to slowly replace my current Henckels with these
