Shun – Premier Santoku Knife 18cm

Shun Knives from Japan has a heritage aligned to Seki City – the home of the Samurai warriors. Shun’s Premier collection calls to mind the hand-forged knives of those ancient times. Each knife takes 100 handcrafted steps to complete with materials, which are the most advanced in the industry with a cutting core of VG-MAX and layered Damascus cladding to provide additional stain resistance. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and the contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood handles are ergonomically designed, so it feels beautiful in the hand.

The Shun Premier 18cm Santoku is a beautiful, Asian-inspired chef’s knife that many cooks today have added to their kitchen favourites. A knife of many talents, a santoku easily handles all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. Slightly shorter than the standard chef’s knife, the Shun Premier Santoku is light, agile, and very easy to maneuver. There’s just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the Premier Santoku’s versatility. It also fits your hand perfectly. The santoku is as easy to use as a chef’s knife and is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut). Many cooks swear by their santoku for top performance.
