Shun Premier 5.5-inch Santoku

Shun describes its 5.5-inch Premier santoku as top performance in a smaller, lightweight, multipurpose knife, suited to medium-sized kitchen tasks. It slices baby carrots, dices shallots and cuts cold butter or chocolate, and it moves quickly on a small board.

The hammered tsuchime finish on the Premier blade helps food release as you cut, and the layered Damascus cladding gives each knife its rippled look. A contoured walnut-finish handle offers comfort and control. It suits cooks with smaller hands and kitchens with limited board space.
