From the Manufacturer
Premier Series
Why Buy Shun Premier
Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, the Shun Premier possesses the grace and charm of hand-forged knives of old. Every blade is made of Vg10 steel, clad with stainless Damascus, then ground for lateral stability and staggering precision. Where the steels meet, a wavy line called a Hamon is formed--similar to when samurai swords are tempered using a clay-baking technique. The remarkable hammered halt ("Tsuchime" in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag when cutting as well as swiftly releasing food from the blade. The rich walnut PakkaWood handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the lowest adds balance and charm to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.

Detailed Features
Kasumi formula of Knifemaking
Kasumi is a original Japanese style of knifemaking in which an extremely hard core of high-carbon steel is clad--that is, sheathed or covered--with an surface jacket of other steel. The somewhat "softer" surface cladding protects the inner cutting core. In Japanese, kasumi means "mist" and is so called because the surface steel can have a lovely misty appearance when compared to the harder cutting core.
Kasumi building provides an extreme mix of properties: an extremely sharp edge and ease of sharpening. This clad building is similar to how samurai swords are traditionally made.
Hammered Tsuchime Finish
In Japanese, Tsuchime (Tsoo-Chee-may) plainly means "hammered". It does two things: gives the knife a look that is reminiscent of the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan; and creates tiny pockets of air that act as hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag and swiftly release food from the blade. Shun's beautiful new Premier line features a hand-hammered tsuchime blade finish.
Damascus (Suminigashi)
Many Shun cutlery lines are characterized by the beautiful Damascus patterning on the blades. In Japan, this is also known as suminigashi, or ink pattern, because of its resemblance to the undulating patterns made by ink in water. To originate this style of blade, a cutting core of Vg10 is clad on each side with 16 layers of Damascus steel, made up of Sus410 and Sus431 stainless steel. Then the blades are bead-blasted to report the elegant, waved pattern.
In increasing to its beauty, the Damascus has two purposes. First, it protects and supports the extremely hard cutting core. Second, it helps the blade glide through food even more smoothly. You will find Damascus cladding on knives in our Classic, Ken Onion, and Premier series.
PakkaWood
PakkaWood is a premium handle material made of genuine hardwood impregnated with resin. The resin makes it moisture resistant, strong, and durable. Sanding and buffing brings PakkaWood to a beautiful gloss finish. As with natural wood, no two pieces of PakkaWood are exactly alike.
