Shun Premier knives combine the artistry of ancient Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. These blades are expertly crafted from VG-MAX steel, featuring a striking hamon line where the steels meet. They boast a sleek and lightweight design for nimble handling, and their tapered edges effortlessly guide food away. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish not only adds beauty but also enhances food release. 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.
The Shun Premier Paring Knife, with its small pointed blade, excels in precise tasks like trimming and peeling fruits and vegetables. It's an indispensable kitchen prep tool, offering complete cutting control for peeling, trimming, making decorative cuts, or chopping small foods such as shallots or garlic. Its true charm lies in its exceptional performance, featuring a thin, lightweight blade and a razor-sharp edge that make every paring task effortless. The handle's contour ensures an excellent grip, whether held by the handle or in a pinch grip.

Use & Care:
- Shun knives should be used in a smooth, slicing motion, not in a chopping, piercing or stabbing motion.
- Do not use Shun knives on hard materials like bones, joints, frozen foods, or hard vegetables like pumpkin.
- Use a good cutting board made of wood, wood composite, or polyethylene to retain a sharp edge for longer.
- Hand-wash knives with gentle dish soap and do not leave them submerged in soapy water.
- Store knives in a block, case, or magnetic holder to protect the blade and ensure safety.
- Regular honing with a Shun Honing Steel is necessary to prolong the life of the blade, and sharpening should only be done when necessary using a Shun or Seki Magoroku Whetstone or by a professional sharpener.
