Premium Shun Damascus Knife Set: 3-Piece (Chef's 8-in, Bread 9-in & Paring 4-in) with Japanese Pakkawood Handle - Seki, Japan

Upon immediate inspection, the captivating Shun Premier collection stands out with its exquisite Tsuchime finish (pronounced tsoo-CHI-may). The harmonious blend of hammer-forged detailing, Premier's impeccable mirror-polished blade, and intricately layered Damascus steel imparts a unique charm, striking a balance between rustic elegance. Each blade is equipped with a core made of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel," ensuring exceptional sharpness and retention of precise edges. The Damascus cladding not only reinforces the core but also enhances stain resistance, while the meeting point of the steels along the blade's edge creates a mesmerizing wave-like pattern, reminiscent of the hamon found in traditionally heat-treated samurai swords.

The Shun Premier set includes a versatile 8-inch Chef's Knife (TDM0706), a 9-inch Bread Knife (TDM0705) for effortless slicing through loaves without crushing, and a nimble 4-inch Paring Knife (TDM0700) designed for peeling, trimming, intricate cuts, and even chopping smaller ingredients like shallots or garlic.

Crafted with exceptional quality, these knives are built from Shun's exclusiveVG-MAX cutting core, expertly clad in 68 layers of stainless Damascus, and finished with a resilient Tsuchime treatment. This construction guarantees a strong, razor-sharp edge that withstands stains and corrosion, making them indispensable tools for any kitchen.
