Part of the stunning Shun Premier line, the 5.5-in. Santoku is reminiscent of the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. Each knife undergoes at least 100 handcrafted steps and is made with advanced materials. The cutting core is crafted from Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to maintain a precision edge, while the layered Damascus cladding provides extra stain resistance. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade.

The premium pakkawood handle is designed to nestle comfortably in the palm, allowing for a variety of secure grips. The handle also features an embossed end cap that adds balance and beauty to the knife. Each Shun Premier 5.5-in. Santoku is handcrafted in Japan and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
