The Shun Premier Collection 8-Piece Knife Set Brand New

The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hand-hammered blades and walnut-coloured 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 hand-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.

8-Piece Set includes:

• 10 cm paring knife
• 14 cm santoku knife
• 17 cm utility knife
• 20 cm chef's knife
• 23 cm bread knife
• 24 cm slicing knife
• Combination honing steel
• 11-slot bamboo block
• Please note: Storage block is counted as an individual piece.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Handwash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• In order to maximise the life of the blade, regular honing with a honing steel will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly.
• With regular use and honing once a week, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen knives at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in a safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
