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 6.5-inch Master Utility Knife (TDM0782)
The Shun Premier 6.5-inch Master Utility Knife combines the agility of a utility knife with much of the range of a chef’s knife. Its blade is slightly longer and noticeably wider than a standard utility knife, and the extra width at the heel, together with a gently curved belly, lets you rock the blade to mince herbs and garlic. The downturned tip, similar to a kiritsuke’s, is especially durable, and a larger handle gives a more secure grip. The result is a compact knife that covers sandwich and trimming work along with many of the board tasks usually left to a chef’s knife. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps food release as you cut.
FeaturesWide heel and curved belly: The added blade height and gentle curve support rocking cuts that a standard utility knife cannot make.Kiritsuke-style tip: The downturned tip is durable and precise for detail work.Larger handle: The fuller handle gives a secure grip for board work.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.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening, so the edge can be professionally restored whenever it needs it.

Shun Premier 9-inch Bread Knife (TDM0705)
The Shun Premier 9-inch Bread Knife is for cooks who slice bread of every texture, from crusty sourdough to tender brioche. Its wide, sharp, low-frequency serrations saw through bread without crushing it and leave fewer crumbs than a plain edge. Because the serrations are spaced farther apart than on a typical sawtooth bread knife, they cut rather than tear. The same smooth cut makes it well suited to cakes and pastries. The 9-inch length crosses a full loaf in long strokes, and the hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps slices release.
FeaturesLow-frequency serrations: Wide, sharp serrations cut cleanly through hard crusts without compressing the soft interior.Fewer crumbs: The serrations cut rather than tear, which keeps crumbing to a minimum.9-inch blade: The length crosses large loaves and layer cakes in long, even strokes.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 slices release from the blade.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handle: The handle offers comfort and control and resists moisture.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening, including the serrated edge.
