Description

Add THE must-have all-around food prep knife to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 8-inch Premier Grey Chef's Knife. This Japanese knife features wide blade that keeps knuckles off the cutting board with a curved belly that can be gently "rocked" through herbs and spices to create a very fine mince. The blade is also thinner than most western style knives so it's lighter and less tiring to use. The Premier chef's Knife is constructed with Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core with 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding for a strong, corrosion-resistant, stain-resistant, razor sharp 16-degree edge. The hammered TSUCHIME finish is beautiful and helps release food easily when cutting. The stylish, grey, contoured Pakkawood handle is comfortable to use and offers a secure grip with excellent control. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

    • My first Japanese Chef's knife - WOW!
Size: 10" Color: Brown
I've been cooking for my family as a serious weekend chef for 35 years now. I have also spent decades butchering and processing venison, wild boar, antelope, and elk. So I think I know a little bit about knives and how to use them. I've been through many, many knives. Cheap ones, expensive ones, and everything in between. I always tended to lean toward the classic French designs and the somewhat updated style of the Zwilling J.A. Henkels Twin Four Star. Most recently I've been using a Sabatier Mexuer et Cie Carbon Steel 10-inch Chef's knife. I really like this knife as I used to own some carbon steel Sabatiers many years ago that somehow got lost in a move to a new residence. Recently, I decided to finally purchase a good quality Japanese knife and after some research online and visiting a few stores I decided to go with the Shun Premier line. I've had the 10-inch Chef's knife for about a month now alternating usage between it and the Sabatier. While the Sabatier is a wonderful cutting tool in its own right the Shun Premier is just at a totally unbelievably higher level. I almost feel like chanting "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" every time I use it. The knife is beautifully balanced and feels just so right in the hand. As so many others have already stated the fit and finish is astonishing. I have never owned anything like this designed for the kitchen. I own several custom hunting/camping knives and the Shun is as well made as these one-of-a-kind knives. The Damascus steel is beautiful and the hand hammered finish above the edge gives the knife a jewel like appearance. Not only is it aesthetically appealing it has a functional purpose. With the hammered dimples food does not stick to the blade. Try slicing a raw potato and you'll see what I mean. I particularly like the design as the bolster works perfectly to get a secure pinch hold on the knife - so necessary for proper technique. The handle is made of pakawood and is in perfect keeping with the overall design. The balance and weight of this knife is just about perfect for me. I have rather large hands and I do not think the handle is too small. I have no problem controlling this tool. Finally, the cutting edge is absolutely razor sharp right out of the box. Although I have used it a few times already I have not had to even brush up the edge with the honing steel. By contrast the Sabatier arrived with a very dull edge. I had to put an edge on it using my oil stones. In defense of the Sabatier once I did put a proper edge it is performing as well as the Shun. There is nothing like carbon steel in this regard, well except maybe, Damascus steel. I am so impressed with the Shun Premier line that I have ordered several more to have a complete set. ... show more

    • Obsessed! Game Changer in the Kitchen
Size: 6" Color: Blonde
This knife has quickly become my favorite chef's knife. I’m absolutely obsessed with it! It’s made me excited to be in the kitchen again. The knife came razor sharp right out of the box, and with its VG-MAX steel, I expect it to stay that way for quite some time. I’m also looking forward to eventually putting one of my mirror edges on it. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their kitchen tools! ... show more

    • Work of Art - Beautiful Blade.

I've owned one of these before, years ago. It was either stolen, or lost in a move. Either way, I am starting a new Chef job soon, so I immediately purchased another one. I used it every day at my old job. It's a workhorse. The 16° edge is razor sharp & cuts through pretty much anything effortlessly. Veggies, Meats, herbs, fruit. Etc. This thing is literally a tiny samurai sword. My knife is beautifully balanced, and very easy to index where the tip is. The handle is pretty comfortable. It has a swell in it so it feels good and secure in my hand. My only criticism of the knife is the handle is a little long. While holding it correctly in a "Pinch-Grip" fashion, there is quite a bit of wood remaining below my hand. ... show more

    • If you cut things in the kitchen, buy these!
Size: 8" Color: Blonde
As I get older (70 now) I find myself wanting nicer things. In this case you get what you pay for. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen now days and wanting to spoil myself, I purchased these lighter weight knives that are extremely sharp. I tried a number of other Japanese manufactures, but for the money Shun was the best. I Highly recommend this company! ... show more

I recently splurged on this Japanese chef's knife, and I've got to say, it's an absolute work of art. Okay, let's address the price tag upfront – it's not cheap, but it's totally justified. You can tell that this knife is all about craftsmanship and quality. It's not just a kitchen tool; it's a statement piece. Now, the sharpness of the blade is something to behold. It's like a precision instrument. It effortlessly cuts through ingredients, whether it's those delicate, paper-thin slices for sashimi or precise julienne cuts on hearty veggies. Plus, it holds its edge impressively well; I've rarely had to sharpen it. The handle is designed for comfort and security, fitting perfectly in your hand. That's a big plus when you're working with such a precise tool. This Japanese chef's knife has seriously upped my cooking game. If you're a dedicated home cook or a pro chef, and you understand the value of top-quality cutlery, this knife is worth every penny. It's an investment in precision and performance that you won't regret. It's a true kitchen masterpiece! ... show more
