  • Detail

    Summary

    Distinguished by hammered blades and walnut-colored PakkaWood handles, the Shun Premier Collection showcases the artistry and precision of artisan-forged knives. Modeled after European knives, this Western chef's knife has a 22-degree cutting edge that provides additional strength for cutting heavier foods like winter squash and cabbage.

    • Blade features a 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 release food from blade.
    • Walnut-finish PakkaWood handle has two-position design, providing a trigger grip for pull cuts and the perfect balance point for pinch grips.
    • Stainless-steel endcaps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
    • Handcrafted in Japan.

    Dimensions & More Info

    • 8" blade, 4" handle.
    • 8.5 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 a 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 22-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
    • Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

    Love my knife

    Great balance. Sharper than a tech nerd using ai😁. I will be getting the rest of the set soon. Santa?

    Quality issues?

    I’m surprised how this is not very sharp. My knives from other places have been very sharp. Expected more.

    Fantastic product!

    I could not be happier with this knife. I’ve had a Henkels set for almost 25 years and I needed to update the larger chef knife. Incredible craftsmanship and it feels great while cutting.

    Sharp knife but rusts easily.

    Great at cutting but rusts easily. For the price it shouldn’t be rusting when I got it less than a month ago

    Shun Premier Perfection

    This knife is wonderful! I have recently purchased a couple of different Shun knives to replace some older knives and this knife is very comfortable to hold and slices so easily, extremely sharp!

    Value and Wuality

    Weight of this knife is perfect. Blade is always well wrought. Good value for price. I have other Shun knives and am looking forward to this lasting a long time.

    The most perfect knife! The handle and the blade are the perfect weight and so comfortable in your hand!

    Very flimsy metal

    The knife chipped within a month. We do not put our knives in the dishwasher, only handwash. I was using this knife to cut celery, and the tip completely fell off. Then I also notice a knotch in the blade of the knife as well. After contacting Williams Sonoma, I was told I would be sent a shipping label and sent a new knife. Two years later, I just found the knife in a box awaiting a promise never answered. I'd like a refund.
