The Shun Premier 7-inch Santoku is a versatile, Japanese-style kitchen knife designed for everyday use. Compact yet powerful, it takes on the essential cutting tasks with ease and is a popular alternative to a traditional chef’s knife. Its slightly shorter blade makes it lighter, more agile, and highly maneuverable. With a subtle curve along the edge, it allows for rocking motions in addition to straight push cuts, enhancing its functionality in the kitchen.

• Multi-purpose knife inspired by Japanese design, suitable for most prep work

• Precision-forged VG-MAX steel core for exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to wear and corrosion; sharpened to 16° per side

• Encased in 68 layers of Damascus-style cladding for both strength and striking appearance

• Hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and helps release food from the blade

• Ergonomic Pakkawood handle with walnut finish provides comfort, control, and resistance to moisture
