From the makers of Japan's finest cutlery comes the Shun Premier collection with a unique new tsuchime finish. The utility knife's hand-hammered texture creates ripples with an effect similar to hollow-ground, reducing drag for a gliding cut and quick release while trimming, chopping and paring. The durable VG-MAX steel core is clad with 34 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side for maximum strength and stability. Infused with resin, the uniquely contoured blonde birch handle nestles comfortably in the hand. The stainless handle cap embossed with the Shun logo adds balance and beauty. The lightweight, nimble and razor-sharp utility knife gives you precise control over a variety of cutting tasks.

Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp blades are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
