Description

The Shun Premier Kiritsuke is used for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. Known as the master chef's knife, it offers top cutting performance and versatility. With its straighter edge, the blade is ideal for slicing and push cuts to Julienne, dice, or brunoise vegetables with ease. It's also an excellent choice for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, and particularly fish. It slices cooked proteins easily and gracefully.

The Shun Premier line calls to mind as the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed, similar to samurai swords using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.

    Beautiful

    This knife is really beautiful. Just moved so I have not been doing much cooking. Seems like it will be great for all my needs. Just what a Kiritsuke knife is designed for. Shun does it again!

    Magnificent

    Finally got to use this knife for the first time earlier this week on a char-grilled tri'tip steak. The knife passed effortlessly through the charred bark and body of the meat in one, smooth, effortless forward stroke right to the cutting board. This is the quintessential slicer you're looking for.
