Shun Premier 2-Piece Starter Set (TDMS0220)
The Shun Premier 2-Piece Starter Set brings together the two knives every kitchen needs, and it is the natural first step into the Shun Premier line. The 8-inch Chef’s Knife is the one knife you are sure to use every time you cook, for slicing, dicing, and chopping across fruits, vegetables, and proteins. The 4-inch Paring Knife handles the trimming and peeling that a chef’s knife is too large for. Between them, they cover most daily prep. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on both blades helps food release as you cut, and the set arrives in a box suitable for storage or gift-giving.
FeaturesTwo essential shapes: A full-size chef’s knife for board work and a compact paring knife for in-hand detail work.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects each core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from each blade while cutting.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handles: The handles offer comfort and control and resist moisture.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for both knives.
Tasks It Handles WellDicing onions, carrots, and celeryMincing herbs and garlic with a rocking cutSlicing boneless meats and fishPeeling and coring apples, pears, and tomatoesTrimming and segmenting fruit
Choosing Your Next Shun Premier KnifeThe third knife should depend on how you eat. If you bake regularly, or simply enjoy a slice of sourdough with breakfast, the Shun Premier 9-inch Bread Knife is the best addition. If your diet includes meat and fish, the Shun Premier 6-inch Boning and Fillet Knife is the better one, and it typically pays for itself by allowing you to buy less expensive cuts that need a little more preparation. For a three-knife set from the start, the Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set adds the 6.5-inch Utility Knife. Learn MoreRegular Price: $319.95

Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set (TDMS0300)
The Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set includes the three key knives no kitchen should be without. It is built around the 8-inch Chef’s Knife, the one knife you are sure to use every time you cook. The 4-inch Paring Knife handles trimming and peeling, and the 6.5-inch Utility Knife covers the in-between tasks that are too large for a paring knife and too fine for a chef’s knife, such as slicing sandwiches, trimming vegetables, and sectioning citrus. Much of the work in a kitchen can be done with these three knives alone. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on every blade helps food release as you cut, and the set arrives in a box suitable for storage or gift-giving.
FeaturesThree essential shapes: A chef’s knife, a utility knife, and a paring knife cover board work, mid-sized trimming, and in-hand detail.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects each core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from each blade while cutting.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handles: The handles offer comfort and control and resist moisture.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for every knife in the set.

Shun Premier 4-Piece Steak Knife Set (TDMS0400)
The Shun Premier 4-Piece Steak Knife Set is for hosts who want the knife on the table to match the steak on the plate. A razor-sharp fine edge glides through the meat and cuts fewer of its fibers, so more of the juices stay inside the steak rather than running onto the plate. Because the edge is not serrated, it slices cleanly instead of tearing, and it is easier to re-sharpen when the time comes. The 5-inch blades are long enough for the largest steak, yet short enough for close control. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish gives each knife the signature Shun Premier look and helps food release. The set of four suits a small dinner party and arrives in a box suitable for gift-giving or storage.
FeaturesFine, non-serrated edge: A clean edge slices rather than tears, so each cut stays neat and the meat stays juicy.Edge retention at the table: Ceramic and glass plates are extremely hard on knife edges, and VG-MAX steel holds its edge for a very long time even with repeated contact against a plate.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release and gives the set its distinctive appearance.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handles: The handles offer comfort and control and resist moisture.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for every knife in the set.

Shun Premier 8-Piece Professional Block Set

This comprehensive collection goes far beyond the basics, equipping you with the precise tools needed for both specialized tasks and heavy-duty daily prep. Alongside the workhorse 8-inch Chef's Knife, 6.5-inch Utility Knife, and 4-inch Paring Knife, this set provides specialized profiles: a nimble 5.5-inch Santoku for rapid vegetable processing, a 9-inch Bread Knife with low-frequency serrations to glide through crusty boules without tearing the crumb, and an elegant 9.5-inch Slicing Knife designed for clean, single-pass cuts through large proteins. At the core of each knife is Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX "super steel," formulated to take and hold an incredibly sharp 16-degree edge (per side) through rigorous use. This core is clad with 68 micro-layers of Damascus stainless steel for enhanced stain resistance and lateral strength.

Housed in a handsome, sustainable 11-slot bamboo block alongside a 9-inch combination honing steel, this set intentionally leaves four open slots (including one for kitchen shears), allowing your bespoke collection to grow over time.
