The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut-colored PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Handcrafted in Japan, the blades are thin and lightweight. This professional-quality set comes complete with six essential knives plus a honing steel and bamboo block for maintenance and storage.

• Blades feature a core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
• Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles have 2-position design, providing a trigger grip for pull cuts and the perfect balance point for a pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel end caps embossed with the Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
