Premier Santoku Knife, 5-1/2-Inch by Shun TDM0727 for Ultimate Kitchen Efficiency

A tailored solution for mid-range culinary endeavors, the Shun Premier 5.5-inch Santoku caters to both professional and amateur cooks alike. Recognizing that each chef has unique preferences, Shun offers a diverse array of knives, ensuring you find the ideal match. This particular Santoku, smaller than its full-size counterpart, strikes a balance in size and weight, making it an excellent choice for a multitude of mid-sized kitchen tasks – slicing baby carrots, chopping shallots, and even cutting butter or chocolate.

Its appeal extends to those with smaller hands or a preference for a lightweight knife, solidifying its position as a beloved staple in any kitchen. The Shun Premier 5.5-inch Santoku belongs to the exquisite Shun Premier collection, inspired by the artisanal craftsmanship of old Japan. Despite utilizing modern techniques, each knife still undergoes a meticulous 100-step handmade process. Shun's proprietaryVG-MAX super steel forms the core of the blade, ensuring precision and longevity.

The layered Damascus cladding not only reinforces the blade but also enhances stain resistance. The signature undulating line, reminiscent of the 'hamon' on samurai swords, forms where the different steel layers meet, showcasing the knife's distinctive beauty. The hammered tsuchime finish further optimizes performance by minimizing drag during cutting, preventing food from sticking to the blade.

Crafted with a premium pakkawood handle, the knife comfortably fits the contours of your hand, offering various secure grip options. It's essential to hand wash and dry the knife, and it comes with a lifetime warranty, a testament to Shun's commitment to quality. Made in Japan, this Santoku knife combines tradition and innovation to provide a superior slicing, dicing, and chopping experience.
