Whether you’re preparing a holiday roast or slicing smoked salmon paper-thin, this knife ensures your presentation is as impressive as your cooking.

Long, Fine Blade for Flawless Carving

The Shun Premier Slicing Knife features a long, narrow blade with a razor-sharp edge that reduces drag and creates perfect slices with minimal effort. Ideal for slicing brisket, ham, turkey, or roast beef, this knife allows you to make long, uninterrupted strokes for beautifully even cuts without tearing or shredding.

Forged from Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX super steel, the blade offers exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. With 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side and a hand-hammered tsuchime finish, it combines striking beauty with practical performance. The hammered surface also helps release food from the blade, making slicing smoother and faster.

Elegant Craftsmanship Meets Functional Design

The handle of the Premier Slicing Knife is made from rich walnut-coloured PakkaWood, contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. Its traditional Japanese-style shape ensures excellent balance and control, reducing hand fatigue during long carving sessions.

The Shun Premier blade’s core fashioned from extremely hard VG Max steel and is enveloped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination of different steel grades makes the blade both hard and flexible at once. The double-sided blade is easy to use because it its light weight and guarantees a clean and precise cut. The incorporation of a hammered surface underlies not only aesthetic reasons, but also serves the release of material from the blade thanks to the resulting air pockets.

Thanks to its symmetrical shape, it is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. A continuous tang ensures stability and balance whilst cutting. As a special touch, the handle’s end has been engraved with Tim Mälzer’s bull’s head, the professional chef’s trademark.
