Description
KSTDM0706: Shun Premier | 8" Chef's
Shun Cutlery
Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier possesses the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 16 layers on either side of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Where the steels meet, a wavy line called a hamon is formed -- similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered using a clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish ("Tsuchime" in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.

Made believers out of us!
First Shun knife we ever bought, and the best and most versatile chef's knife we've used. Like this so much we're gradually replacing most of our old knives with Shun. Blade sharpness and quality are unparalleled, and the knife is a thing of beauty.

My first thoughts on using this blade were that my onions had gone rotten. It cut through like they ripe banana. It is a stunning blade that cuts as well as it looks. It's no heavy duty knife but out-slices any of my other quality chefs knives. Highly recommended!
