Made in Japan.
Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, Shun Premier offers the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Where the two steels meet, a wavy line called a hamon is formed similar to the line formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique. The striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) acts similar to a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut PakkaWoodĀ® handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom end cap adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in use in the hand or at rest in the block.
This compact set provides the core knives that every kitchen needs. The set includes the Paring knife, perfect for peeling, coring, trimming or other intricate work, and the Utility knife, which is ideal for tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming vegetables. Finally, there's the Chef's knife, THE must-have, all-purpose kitchen knife. The three-piece Shun Premier Starter set comes as a gift-boxed set.
