SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Shun Premier 7" Santoku Knife is a precision tool forged for serious kitchen work. Handcrafted in Japan, this fixed blade kitchen knife brings together traditional craftsmanship and modern performance. The 7" Santoku blade features a VG-MAX stainless steel cutting core, known for holding a razor-sharp edge and resisting corrosion under heavy use. It's wrapped in 68 layers of Damascus cladding, giving the blade both strength and beauty with a rippling, layered finish.
The hammered TSUCHIME surface not only looks striking but also serves a purpose—reducing drag and helping food release from the blade more easily during slicing and chopping. Whether you're cutting vegetables, fish, or meat, this knife moves cleanly and efficiently through every task.
The handle is contoured walnut wood, offering a warm, natural feel and excellent control. It's shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, giving you better grip and less fatigue during long prep sessions. Stainless steel hardware adds a refined touch, and the full tang construction ensures strength from blade to butt.
At 12.5" overall and weighing just 7.36 ounces, the Shun Premier Santoku delivers lightweight precision with the heft to handle serious work. Whether you're working in a professional kitchen or prepping meals at home, this knife is built to perform and made to last.
