Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set (TDMS0300)
The Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set includes the three key knives no kitchen should be without. It is built around the 8-inch Chef’s Knife, the one knife you are sure to use every time you cook. The 4-inch Paring Knife handles trimming and peeling, and the 6.5-inch Utility Knife covers the in-between tasks that are too large for a paring knife and too fine for a chef’s knife, such as slicing sandwiches, trimming vegetables, and sectioning citrus. Much of the work in a kitchen can be done with these three knives alone. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on every blade helps food release as you cut, and the set arrives in a box suitable for storage or gift-giving.
FeaturesThree essential shapes: A chef’s knife, a utility knife, and a paring knife cover board work, mid-sized trimming, and in-hand detail.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports and protects each core.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release from each blade while cutting.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 8-inch Chef's Knife (TDM0706)
The Shun Premier 8-inch Chef’s Knife is the knife you will reach for every day. It is light and agile, and its thinner blade makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style chef’s knives, which matters over a long session of prep. The 8-inch length and keen edge handle slicing and dicing across fruits, vegetables, and proteins. The wide blade keeps your knuckles clear of the board and doubles as a scoop for moving cut food to the pan, and the curved belly lets you rock the blade to mince herbs and garlic finely. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish on the Shun Premier blade helps food release as you cut.
FeaturesThin, lightweight blade: Less weight in the hand reduces fatigue through extended prep.Wide blade: The blade height gives knuckle clearance on the board and carries cut food to the pan.Curved belly: The rounded edge supports a rocking motion for fine mincing.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.
Tasks It Handles WellDicing onions, carrots, and celeryMincing herbs, garlic, and ginger with a rocking cutChopping cabbage, squash, and other large produceSlicing boneless meat, poultry, and fishMoving cut food from board to pan
Choosing a Shun Premier Chef’s KnifeFor smaller hands or a smaller board, the Shun Premier 6-inch Chef’s Knife is the more compact choice; for large volumes and big produce, the Shun Premier 10-inch Chef’s Knife covers more board per stroke. If you prefer push cuts to rocking, the straight edge of the Shun Premier 8-inch Kiritsuke suits that style. The same length is available with a D-shaped ebony handle and smooth Damascus finish as the Shun Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife. Learn MoreRegular Price: $219.95
