Shun Premier Knives

The Shun Premier 7-Piece Set is more than a collection of knives; it’s the high-performance foundation for the passionate home cook. Designed to serve as a complete culinary system, this set provides a carefully curated selection of essential tools that cover over 95% of all kitchen cutting tasks, empowering you to work with greater precision, speed, and enjoyment. At the heart of the set are the four most vital knives for kitchen versatility. The 8-inch Chef's Knife is the tireless workhorse for all your primary chopping and slicing. For crusty bread, delicate tomatoes, or large melons, the 9-inch Bread Knife makes clean, crush-free cuts with its wide serrations. The nimble 6.5-inch Utility Knife acts as the agile problem-solver for all the in-between tasks, while the 4-inch Paring Knife serves as your instrument for fine, detailed work. What elevates the Shun Premier experience is the fusion of ancient tradition and modern technology. Each blade features a visually stunning hand-hammered finish (Tsuchime), which not only looks beautiful but also creates small air pockets to reduce friction, allowing food to fall away from the blade. The core of VG-MAX "super steel" takes and holds a razor-sharp edge for longer, while 68 layers of Damascus cladding provide support and stain resistance. This is a comprehensive system designed for longevity, including a honing steel for regular maintenance, multi-purpose shears, and a handsome bamboo block with extra slots to grow your collection. For the cook ready to invest in tools that match their passion, this set is the definitive starting point. Learn More
