Shun Premier Knife Block

The hammered finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food, which helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the knife while you chop or slice.

Yes, the Shun Premier knives feature a contoured, ambidextrous handle design that provides a secure and comfortable grip regardless of which hand you use.

Absolutely. The included bamboo block features 11 slots, meaning there are four extra spaces available for you to expand your collection with additional Shun knives over time.

This set includes a honing steel, which should be used regularly to realign the blade edge and maintain sharpness. For long-term maintenance, the knives should be hand-washed and dried immediately to protect the steel and walnut handles.

The 16-degree angle on each side is sharper than the standard 20-degree angle found on many Western-style knives. This allows for more precise, effortless cuts and cleaner slices through delicate ingredients.

The handles are crafted from walnut PakkaWood, which is a premium, resin-impregnated wood composite. This material offers the natural aesthetic of wood while providing superior water resistance and durability in a kitchen environment.
