Shun Premier - 8" Kiritsuke - 69 Layered Damscus - Made in Seki City, Japan

The Shun Premier line is inspired by the exquisite hand-forged knives of ancient Japan, combining time-honored craftsmanship with modern innovation. Each knife undergoes a meticulous process that involves at least 100 handcrafted steps, showcasing the artistry and dedication that goes into its creation.

The blade boasts a cutting core made from Shun's exceptional VG-MAX "super steel," ensuring a razor-sharp edge that lasts. Encased in striking layered Damascus cladding, the core not only enhances the blade’s elegance but also provides impressive stain resistance. The flowing, undulating line where the two steels meet near the edge is reminiscent of the traditional clay-baking techniques used in crafting legendary samurai swords. The hammered tsuchime finish adds a unique touch, creating hollow-ground cavities that reduce drag for effortless cutting. Designed for comfort, the handles nestle perfectly in your hand, while the embossed end cap not only enhances balance but also elevates the knife's beauty.

Handcrafted in the renowned city of Seki City, Japan, each knife comes with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring that this remarkable piece of culinary art is built to last. Experience the blend of tradition and innovation that defines the Shun Premier line—where every slice tells a story.
