Shun Cutlery Premier 6 Small, Nimble Blade, Professional Chef Knife

Shun Cutlery's 6-inch Premier Chef's Knife is a must-have all-around food prep knife that should be added to your collection. This Japanese knife is small, light, and extremely maneuverable, making it the perfect all-purpose kitchen knife for preparing fruit, vegetables, meat, and more.

Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining the ancient tradition of blade-making. Each knife is meticulously handcrafted by highly skilled artisans, producing blades of unparalleled quality and beauty.

The Premier Chef's Knife features Shun's proprietary VG-Max cutting core, which is clad in 68 layers of stainless Damascus. This high-quality construction ensures the knife is corrosion and stain resistant, while also providing a strong and razor-sharp 16-degree edge.

The hammered TSUCHIME finish not only adds a beautiful aesthetic to the blade but also helps release food easily when cutting. The wide blade is designed to keep knuckles off the cutting board, and the curved belly allows for a gentle "rocking" motion when mincing herbs and spices, resulting in a very fine mince.

Complementing the exceptional blade is the walnut-finished, contoured Pakkawood handle. This durable handle resists moisture, providing a comfortable and secure grip with excellent control. The handle's ergonomic design ensures fatigue-free use, even during extended food preparation tasks.

Shun's commitment to excellence extends beyond traditional craftsmanship. They leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to bring their renowned quality to professional chefs and avid home cooks worldwide.

In Japan, the blade is more than just a tool – it's a tradition. Shun Fine Cutlery honors this rich heritage, combining time-honored techniques with innovative design to create exceptional kitchen knives that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Whether you are a professional chef or an enthusiastic home cook, the Shun 6-inch Premier Chef's Knife is an essential addition to your culinary arsenal. Its small, nimble blade, high-quality construction, and beautiful, durable handle make it the perfect all-around food prep knife for all your culinary adventures.
