Shun Premier 5-Piece Starter Knife Block Set
Hand-Hammered Precision: The Shun Premier Essential Collection The Shun Premier 5-Piece Starter Set (TDMS0512) represents the definitive entry point for the professional chef and serious home enthusiast. Rather than filling a block with redundant blades, this set prioritizes the three workhorses of the modern kitchen: the 8-inch Chef's Knife for heavy prep, the 4-inch Paring Knife for intricate detail work, and the 6.5-inch Utility Knife for everything in between. Each blade is a masterclass in Japanese metallurgy, featuring a core of VG-MAX 'super steel'—an alloy engineered for extreme edge retention and corrosion resistance. Every knife in the Premier series is clad in 68 micro-layers of Damascus stainless steel, providing structural support and a stunning visual profile. The distinctive Tsuchime (hammered) finish is not merely aesthetic; the resulting air pockets act as hollow-ground indentations, significantly reducing surface drag and ensuring food releases cleanly from the blade during rapid slicing. With a 16-degree double-bevel edge, these knives offer surgical precision through dense root vegetables and delicate proteins alike. Ergonomics are centered around the walnut-finished Pakkawood handle. Contoured to fit the palm, it provides a secure grip that resists moisture and prevents fatigue during high-volume prep shifts. The set is completed by a combination honing steel to maintain your 16° edge and a space-saving Slimline Bamboo Block, leaving two open slots for your collection to grow with your skills.

Shun Premier 6 in. Fillet Knife
The Shun Premier 6-inch Gokujo is a highly specialized and versatile tool designed for precision work with fish and meat. The name "Gokujo" translates to "supreme," reflecting the blade's unique hybrid design that functions as both a traditional boning knife and a flexible fillet knife. The blade features a stiff spine near the handle, providing the leverage needed to cut through cartilage and work cleanly around the bones of beef, pork, or poultry. As it tapers toward the tip, it becomes progressively more flexible, offering the delicate control required to glide between the skin and flesh of a fish, ensuring you get perfect fillets with minimal waste. At the heart of the Gokujo is a core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel," renowned for its ability to take and maintain an incredibly sharp 16° edge while resisting corrosion and wear. This high-performance core is protected by 68 layers of Damascus cladding, which not only adds to the blade's strength and durability but also creates a unique, rippling pattern. The signature tsuchime (hand-hammered) finish on the upper part of the blade serves both an aesthetic and a functional purpose. The hammered indentations create small air pockets, which reduce drag and help the knife glide smoothly through food, preventing fat or delicate fish skin from sticking. For optimal control, the knife is fitted with a contoured, walnut-finished PakkaWood® handle. This durable and moisture-resistant material provides a comfortable and secure grip, which is essential for detailed and precise cutting tasks.

Shun Premier 7-inch Gyuto Knife
The Shun Premier 7-inch Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent of the classic Western chef's knife, designed as a versatile, all-purpose tool for any kitchen.

The hand-hammered finish reduces drag and helps food release from the blade. This 7-inch version is a perfect mid-size option, offering great control without the length of a larger blade. This knife is particularly well-suited for tasks such as: Slicing: Making clean cuts through boneless meats, poultry, and fish. Dicing: Preparing uniform cuts of onions, celery, and other vegetables. Mincing: Using a rocking motion to finely chop garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs. Chopping: Handling a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
