Description
The Shun Premier chef knife features a VG-MAX super-steel core clad in 34 layers of Damascus stainless. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish reduces food adhesion while the walnut PakkaWood handle provides warm, secure grip.

Effortless Release
The tsuchime dimples create air pockets that let potato slices fall away freely instead of clinging to the blade.
Experience a chef knife that works with you, not against you.
Seki City Tradition
Shun artisans hand-hammer each blade individually, giving every Premier knife a unique tsuchime pattern.
The VG-MAX core adds tungsten and vanadium to achieve a 61 HRC edge that sharpens beautifully.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
