Shun Premier Knives
Shun Premier knives combine a VG-MAX cutting core with 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total) and a hand-hammered tsuchime finish. The hammered surface helps food release from the blade as you cut, and it gives every Premier knife its distinctive appearance. Each blade is sharpened to 16° per side for a fine, keen edge. The contoured walnut PakkaWood handle resists moisture and provides a secure grip, and the Shun emblem appears on the blade and the end cap. Like every Shun knife, Premier knives are handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, and come with free lifetime sharpening and a limited lifetime warranty. Premier shares its steel, cladding, and edge with the Shun Classic line; the two differ in finish and handle.

Shun Premier 6-inch Boning and Fillet Knife
The Shun Premier 6-inch Boning and Fillet Knife is for cooks who break down their own meat and fish. Its narrow, sharp, curved blade works close to the bone to separate meat cleanly, which leaves more of the cut on the plate and less on the carcass. The same blade trims silver skin from a tenderloin or roast and slices even cutlets. At six inches, it is long enough to fillet fish, removing bones and skin in controlled strokes. The narrow profile reduces drag through the meat, and the contoured handle gives a secure grip when your hands are wet. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps food release as you work.
FeaturesCurved, rigid blade: The stiff blade holds its line for close, controlled cuts around joints and along bones.Narrow profile: The slim blade reduces drag and moves easily between meat and bone.VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects the core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from the blade while cutting.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handle: The handle offers comfort and control and resists moisture.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, so the edge can be professionally restored whenever it needs it.
