## Description

Shun Premier 10" Cook's / Chef's Knife A must-have for anyone who loves to cook, this all-purpose chef's knife by Shun Premier comes in handy for a variety of food-prepping tasks. Use it to chop, slice, dice, and more--everything from carrots and potatoes for a savory stew, green peppers and onions for a homemade pizza to fruit for a summer salad. Shun pronounced "shoon" in Japanese, means- "at the peak of perfection". Each knife is handmade by skilled specialists and requires at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete one knife. Shun Premier knives feature a VG-Max super steel core encased with a Damascus clad 34-layers of SUS410/SUS431 stainless steel, 17-layers on each side. The Damascus steel supports and protects the core, which provides toughness, and is stain resistant. The hammered tsuchime design acts as a hollow-ground and releases the food easily from the blade when slicing. Each Shun knife provides a Japanese blade angle of 16°. You will enjoy the ease of cutting the thinnest slices without bruising or tearing the most delicate foods while prepping; this ensures the ingredients to stay intact, retain flavor, and stay fresh. The blade is complimented by a D-shaped traditional Japanese handle, made out of walnut stained PakkaWood. Made in Japan. Overall Length: 15.50” (393.7 mm) Blade Thickness: 0.08” (2.03 mm) Blade Finish: Mirror

Review: Thumbs up… - Very good products. I am very happy to have KAI Shun Knives.
Review: Its ugly but... - As you can see in the photo, it's damn ugly except when modified to kiritsuke style that I did. If you don't have patience to do that then just get the classic 10 inch which looks better that classic 8 inch one. In the photo classic 8 inch is looking better because I shaved off about 3mm to make it look proportional. Also after shaving off I sharpened to 10 ish degree angle and thus now it is as sharp as miyabi knife. For miyabi you need min 61 hardness to retain the edge. I have morimoto edition as well with 57 hardness and that requires sharpening every month. This koh series has beautiful handle and is most used knife. It retains edge upto an year. I also have black series that never requires sharpening but is quite sticky to foods and is terribly hard to sharpen. I am talking about 10 mts vs 2 hours.!!! I consider Japanese knife as functional jewellery and have quite a collection. Once you use that then you can never go back to German knives. And once you use miyabi then you can feel that shun is comparatively blunt. That's why I try to re develop edge to 10 degree in shun knives as well. With 61 hardness it holds it well. Though I love miyabi because that knives have no sharp edges except for the cutting edge. Shun should consider doing that because, as I said, after miyabi it feels unrefined. What I used 10 inch knife for? For the starter it is defacto knife for doing kurbani because it retains sharpness even after 50+ use compared to traditional ones that blunts out at mere 5. Plus the sharpness as as the god intended. Ofcourse you can use it for vegetables as well. Or if you got the tip then for fulleying fish as well or for cutting softer meat pieces. 8 incher can do it all as well but consider reducing height by 3mm by redeveloping the edge. It's risky to do that because you can chip large piece and thus make the knife useless.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
