Product Details

Web ID: 742616

Recalling the hand-forged artistry of ancient Japanese knives, each handcrafted piece in Shun's masterfully designed Premier line takes at least 100 steps to complete — but is updated for the modern world using the industry's finest materials. Each blade has a core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" that's layered with Damascus cladding for added support, precision and stain-resistance. Contoured, comfortable walnut-finished PakkaWood handles beautifully complement the blades. The nakiri is perfectly designed for slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables and more.

Sharpness

Love rhe weight and feel of the knife but th re’s a learning curve when cutting. Out of the box it did not feel sharp enough to cut carrots so I honed the blade and it performed better.

Good choice

My initial concern was blade being on the short side. But it turns out to be perfect. Quality is top notch and overall feel is good. A+ .

Not Sharp Enough

Love the design. It's a beautiful knife. And it's reasonably sharp, but given the reputation of Shun, I am disappointed that it is not sharper. I have knives that haven't been sharpened in a year that are sharper. I suppose I could try to sharpen it myself to get a better edge, but it's baffling that it did not arrive razor sharp.

Wish it was a little

Wish it was a little bigger, but cuts like a dream. I have a few Shun Premier knives and I can’t imagine I could be swayed to buy from anyone else
