Whether you’re chopping vegetables, slicing proteins, or preparing herbs, this knife delivers consistent performance with every cut, offering both beauty and reliability for home cooks and professionals alike.

The heart of the knife is a plain 6” blade forged from VG-Max stainless steel, a premium material that combines extreme sharpness with outstanding durability. VG-Max steel is engineered to hold an edge longer than traditional stainless steels while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. It’s fine-grained and responsive, allowing you to achieve clean, precise cuts with minimal effort. The satin finish adds sophistication to the blade, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functionality by providing smooth, controlled slicing across a variety of ingredients.

The knife features a hidden tang construction, which contributes to its strength while maintaining a seamless and elegant profile. Measuring 11.25” overall and weighing just 5.3 oz., the Shun Premier Chef’s Knife is perfectly balanced for comfortable handling. Its light yet solid feel makes extended prep work easier, reducing fatigue while giving you the control necessary for delicate or detailed tasks. This balance makes it an essential tool for both everyday use and more ambitious culinary projects.

The handle is crafted from blonde Pakkawood, a material that combines the natural warmth of wood with the resilience of resin. This ensures the handle is resistant to moisture and wear, while also offering a smooth, polished surface that’s a pleasure to hold. The pale blonde tone adds a bright, elegant touch to the knife, making it a standout piece in any kitchen. Ergonomically designed, the handle fits naturally in the hand, allowing you to maintain a secure grip and precise control whether you’re mincing garlic or carving a roast.

As a chef’s knife, this piece is designed to excel at a variety of cutting techniques. Its slightly curved edge allows for a gentle rocking motion, perfect for chopping herbs or vegetables, while the sturdy tip can handle more precise tasks like slicing or scoring meats. The Shun Premier Chef’s Knife offers versatility without compromise, making it a cornerstone tool that can take the place of multiple knives in your kitchen, streamlining prep work and enhancing efficiency.

Shun’s Premier line is celebrated worldwide for its combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern innovation, and this chef’s knife embodies both.
