Shun Premier Blonde Kiritsuke 8" STDM0771W

Ready to upgrade your kitchen game? The Shun Premier Blonde Kiritsuke Knife is what happens when Japanese tradition meets modern performance—and it doesn’t just look amazing, it works like a dream. Known as the “master chef’s knife,” the Kiritsuke shape is your all-in-one powerhouse for slicing, dicing, julienning, and more. Veggies, fish, proteins—whatever’s on the board, this blade is up for the job.

The straighter edge is ideal for smooth push cuts, while the fine tip lets you finesse detailed work like a pro. And with a blade this sharp and precise, don’t be surprised if you start making excuses just to prep something.

At the core is VG–MAX super steel, known for holding an edge that feels like magic. It's wrapped in 69 layers of beautiful Damascus cladding, giving you strength, stain resistance, and that eye-catching ripple pattern every knife nerd loves. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish? Not just pretty—it's your secret weapon for keeping food from sticking as you slice.
