The Shun Premier line is not only made with top-quality materials, but it also showcases a stunning aesthetic. These knives are like functional works of art. The blades are the highlight, with a beautiful mirror sheen, Damascus cladding, and a hammered finish called tsuchime. In terms of performance, these knives feature Shun's exclusive VG-MAX super steel, which not only provides a sharp cutting edge but also resists stains thanks to the Damascus jacket. The hammered finish helps the blade release food more easily when slicing. Each knife is meticulously handmade in Japan, going through over 100 crafting steps. Take a look at our selection of the Shun Premier line to complete your set! The Carving Knife, with its long and narrow blade, is perfect for carving large pieces of meat. It can also handle other big slicing tasks.
