The Shun Premier collection elevates Japanese knife artistry with its signature hand-hammered Tsuchime finish, inspired by ancient blades, which reduces food adhesion for smoother slicing. It features a VG-MAX core clad in 68-69 micro-layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side, hardened to 60-61 HRC with razor-sharp 16° double-bevel edges for superior edge retention and durability. Contoured walnut or blonde PakkaWood handles ensure ergonomic balance and moisture resistance, all handcrafted in Seki, Japan, distinguishing it from Classic with bolder aesthetics and refined performance.
