Product Description
The Shun Premier 7-Inch Santoku Knife brings a light, agile feel to everyday kitchen preparation. Slightly shorter than a standard chef’s knife, this versatile, Asian-inspired blade is easy to maneuver and especially well suited to a down-and-forward push cut. A gentle curve in the belly also allows rocking cuts, giving you flexibility as you slice and prepare ingredients.
A VG-MAX cutting core holds a fine, sharp edge, while Damascus cladding supports and protects the core. Premier’s distinctive hammered Tsuchime finish helps food release during cutting. The moisture-resistant, walnut-finished Pakkawood handle is contoured for comfort and control, making the knife a practical companion for daily preparation.
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.
