Product Description
The Shun Premier Blonde 5.5" Santoku is the ideal compact knife for cooks who want precision without the heft of a full-sized blade. Built around a VG-MAX cutting core — the latest in Shun's line of super steels — it holds a razor-sharp 16° edge on each side and resists both wear and corrosion. Sixty-eight micro layers of Damascus cladding protect the core and give the blade its striking, wave-like beauty, while the hammered Tsuchime finish helps food release cleanly with every cut. The contoured blonde Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable, moisture-resistant grip that suits smaller hands especially well. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife earns its place as an everyday go-to for slicing, dicing, and everything in between.
