Product Description
Bring comfortable control to everyday prep with the Shun Premier 5.5-Inch Santoku Knife. Smaller and lighter than a full-size santoku, this compact, multipurpose knife is a natural fit for medium-sized kitchen tasks and cooks who prefer a smaller blade.
Slice baby carrots, dice shallots, or portion butter and chocolate with a blade sized for precise work. Its VG-MAX steel core offers wear and corrosion resistance and holds a fine, sharp edge. Damascus cladding supports and protects the core, while the hammered Tsuchime finish helps food release as you cut. A contoured, walnut-finished Pakkawood handle resists moisture and provides comfort and control.
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.
