Shun Premier Knives
The Shun Premier Knife Collection features a striking hand-hammered appearance (Tsuchime) that is a great melding of form and function. The mottled surface provides air pockets to reduce drag when cutting and helps to keep starchy foods from sticking to the blade. The signature Shun emblem is emblazoned on the blade and on the end of the handle. The handle is a dark, walnut PakkaWood; A resin impregnated wood that is impervious to water and will not shrink. Each Shun Premier knife has a VG10 core, with 16 layers of Damascus on each side, for a total of 33 layers. The edges are razor sharp and very thin, as you would expect from Shun. Lifetime guaranteed.

Shun Premier 5-Piece In-Drawer Knife Set (TDMS0585
Begin or elevate your Shun Premier collection with this meticulously designed 5-piece In-Drawer Knife Set, an essential choice for discerning cooks seeking both exceptional performance and intelligent kitchen organization. This set provides four core knives from the acclaimed Shun Premier line—a versatile 4-inch paring knife, a 6.5-inch utility knife, a workhorse 8-inch chef's knife, and a 9-inch bread knife designed to glide through crusty artisanal loaves without crushing the crumb. Instead of taking up valuable counter real estate with a traditional block, these knives nestle securely within a handsome, space-saving beechwood tray. The 7-slot design neatly protects your current blades from edge-dulling drawer friction while leaving three open slots to accommodate future additions to your Shun collection. Beyond storage, the knives themselves are masterpieces of Japanese craftsmanship. Each blade features Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" cutting core, clad with 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel for superior edge retention and stain resistance. The distinctive hammered "tsuchime" finish is not merely aesthetic; it creates tiny air pockets that act as a hollow-ground feature, helping sticky or dense foods release effortlessly from the blade. Hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle per side, the blades deliver incredibly clean, effortless cuts. Balancing this high-performance steel are contoured, walnut-finished PakkaWood® handles, designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip that resists moisture and reduces fatigue during heavy prep work. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, this set is an investment in both your culinary efficiency and the longevity of your tools. Learn MoreRegular Price: $639.95

This comprehensive collection goes far beyond the basics, equipping you with the precise tools needed for both specialized tasks and heavy-duty daily prep.
