Product Description
Bring precision to small prep tasks with the Shun Premier 4-Inch Paring Knife. Its thin, lightweight blade offers close control for peeling, trimming, decorative cuts, and preparing small ingredients such as shallots and garlic.
A fine, sharp VG-MAX steel core offers wear and corrosion resistance, supported by 68 layers of Damascus cladding. The hammered Tsuchime finish helps food release during cutting, while the contoured, walnut-finished Pakkawood handle resists moisture and provides comfort and control. A contour beneath the handle supports a secure grip, whether you hold the handle or use a pinch grip.
Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Shun knives draw on centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition. Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps, combining skilled craftsmanship with modern technology. The name Shun celebrates ingredients at their peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty, a philosophy that brings purpose to everyday preparation.
