The “Three Virtues” of Precision Cutting
Santoku translates to “three virtues,” referring to its core strengths: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The Shun Premier Santoku Knife features a wide, slightly curved blade that allows for smooth rocking cuts, while the straight edge ensures clean, controlled chopping. Whether you’re prepping vegetables, slicing poultry, or finely chopping herbs, this knife delivers accuracy and ease with every movement.
Handcrafted with Shun’s premium VG-MAX super steel core and clad with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side, the blade offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish not only adds a striking visual appeal but also reduces drag and helps food release from the blade effortlessly.
Comfort Meets Artistry
The handle of the Premier Santoku Knife is made from walnut-coloured PakkaWood—a rich, water-resistant material that’s as durable as it is elegant. The contoured design fits naturally in the hand, providing comfort and balance for extended prep sessions. The traditional Japanese-style grip also gives you the control you need for precise, confident cutting.
Whether you’re upgrading your go-to kitchen knife or investing in high-quality cutlery that lasts, the Shun Premier Santoku Knife delivers on performance, durability, and show-stopping design. It’s not just a tool—it’s a joy to use.
