Shun Premier 9.5 in. (240mm) Carving Knife

The Shun Premier 9.5-inch Carving Knife is an elegant and highly effective tool designed for slicing large cuts of meat with grace and precision. Its long, narrow blade is engineered to make clean, beautiful slices through roasts, turkey, brisket, and ham in a single, fluid pass. This ensures that juices and flavor are locked into each slice.


The narrow profile of the blade reduces friction and surface tension, allowing it to glide through meat with minimal effort. The hand-hammered finish further reduces drag and helps the meat release cleanly from the blade. The pointed tip is useful for navigating around bones and joints. This knife is not just a tool, but a centerpiece for holiday meals and special occasions, turning the act of carving into a performance.


This knife is particularly well-suited for tasks such as:



  • Carving Poultry: Slicing turkey, chicken, and duck.

  • Slicing Roasts: Carving prime rib, leg of lamb, and pork loin.

  • Serving Brisket and Ham: Creating long, uniform slices of smoked and cured meats.

  • Slicing Large Fruits: Effortlessly cutting through large melons like watermelon or cantaloupe.
