Shun Cutlery TDM0707 – Premier Line 10” Chef’s Knife – VG-MAX Core Hammered Damascus Blade – Walnut Brown Pakkawood Handle

Shun Cutlery, producing high-quality kitchen knives out of Seki City, Japan, was one of the first to introduce the lightweight aspects of Japanese kitchen cutlery to the Western market. With a variety of different blade styles and handle options, Shun has an impressive array of options for both the experienced chef and those who feel lost in the kitchen. Priding themselves on tradition, the brand and its parent company, Kai Corporation, have been running operations out of Japan for more than 112 years. Each knife, running through 100 individual steps in the production process, comes out with flare and incredible usability, with perfect balance and flexibility. One of the most impressive Japanese-based kitchen cutlery brands on the market, a Shun knife is sure to feel as great in your hand as it looks in your kitchen.

The Shun Premier Line is an upgraded version of many of the pieces available in the Shun Classic Line. With a now-hammered blade finish, known as “tsuchime’ in Japan, this line of knives allows for easier releasing of food off of the blade. In addition to the increased functionality, the hammering of the blades in this line bring an extra bit of style to your kitchen, as these knives are breathtaking to look at. Another key difference in the Premier Line is the stunning new walnut brown-colored handle. With the well-known incredible balance and high-quality materials that Shun has put into this line, the pieces in the Shun Premier line are sure to amaze.

The 10” chef’s knife of this line is a great option for nearly every task in the kitchen including chopping, slicing, dicing and more. The overall length of the knife is 15.50” and the blade shape is classified as drop point. A wide blade on this knife allows for transferring food easily as well as leaving space for your knuckles while in-use.
