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 5.5-inch Nakiri
Shun describes the nakiri as a traditional Japanese vegetable knife made for precise preparation, and its 5.5-inch Premier nakiri brings that shape to a compact blade. For a push cut, Shun advises moving the blade down and forward with the edge parallel to the board.The squared tip aids balance and control, and the straight edge cuts extremely thin, uniform slices and makes quick work of everything from leafy greens to root vegetables. The wide, flat blade also scoops chopped ingredients from the board to the pan. The hammered tsuchime finish helps sliced vegetables release from the blade, and the walnut-finish handle matches the rest of the Premier line. It is a natural companion to a Premier chef’s knife.
