Perfect for medium-sized kitchen tasks

Shun makes many different types of kitchen knives so you can always find the ones that work best for you. The Santoku Japanese-style knife is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. It works well with vegetables, proteins, and fruit and excels at three types of cuts; slicing, dicing, and chopping.

The Shun Premier 14cm Santoku is smaller than the full-sized santoku, this one is an in-between size and weight that make it perfect for slicing baby carrots, dicing shallots, cutting butter or chocolate–all are perfect jobs for the Shun Premier 14cm Santoku. If you have smaller hands or simply prefer a compact knife, this one is sure to become one of your favourite kitchen go-to knives.

Shun Premier calls to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan yet offers performance born from the latest advances in knife design and technology. Premier blades are thinner and lighter for fast and agile handling, while the blade design – with wide weight distribution from the tip to end cap – ensures stability and strength. Shun Premier blades are made of VG-MAX steel, clad with stainless Damascus. Where the steels meet, an attractive wavy line called a hamon is formed. Premier blades are ground to a quick taper edge that helps move food away from the blade quickly. The beautiful hand-hammered finish – tsuchime (tsoo-CHEE-may) in Japanese – also improves food release when cutting. The two-position handle, in rich walnut PakkaWood, offers a trigger grip for pull cuts as well as the perfect balance point for a pinch grip.

Features:

  • Blade Material: Proprietary VG-MAX hardened Japanese steel cutting core, each side with 34 layers (69 total including core) of SUS410/SUS431 pattern stainless steel Damascus cladding
  • Cutting Edge: Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade
  • Hardness: 60 HRC.
  • Blade Finish: Hammered tsuchime finish helps release food easily when cutting
