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 cuts down on food sticking while the walnut PakkaWood handle gives you a warm, secure grip.

Effortless Release
The tsuchime dimples create air pockets that let potato slices fall away freely instead of clinging to the blade.
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 hit a 61 HRC edge that sharpens beautifully.

Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
