Shun TDM0727 Premier Knife Santoku 5.5''
About This Item
- The first thing that catches the eye about the beautiful Shun Premier series is its magnificent tsuchime (tsoo-CHEE-may) finish. This hammered finish, combined with Premier’s mirror blade polish and intricately layered Damascus, gives Shun Premier a look that is at once rustic and sophisticated.
- But the real beauty of Premier is how it performs. Premier is designed to provide exceptionally agile handling. The lightweight, razor-sharp blades are quick and precise. The palm swell on the ambidextrous handle nestles into the hand to provide confident control—for both smaller and larger hands. The embossed endcap and brass ring provide both balance and beauty.
Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core
This high-end stainless steel forms the core of the entire blade, all the way to the cutting edge. VG-MAX is extremely hard, which means Shun Premiers can take an incredible edge and hold it longer.
Stainless Damascus cladding
34 micro-layers of steel each side support the core, add stain/corrosion resistance, help food release from blade.
Razor-sharp 16° cutting edge
Hand sharpened to a 16° angle each side for top performance; blade is double-bevel, flat ground.
Hammered tsuchime finish
Helps release food easily when cutting.
PakkaWood® handles
Offers a comfortable grip for both left and right-handed users. Walnut PakkaWood is durable, and won’t harbor bacteria. Embossed endcap adds beauty and balance.
Full composite tang
