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 serrated knife proves indispensable for slicing cleanly through breads, sandwiches, and delicate fruits and vegetables.
- 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 to quickly release food from blade.
- Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles have two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
- Stainless-steel end caps embossed with the Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
