Shun Premier 5.5-Inch

a little bit more so than the classic series. So this is the really, really nice blade. Superb fit and finish

I have been on the hunt for a new knife for a while, having got hooked on the Global GS5 years ago and wanting a second similar knife for the kitchen for busy days. Recently I have been reading a lot about various knife makes, European and Japanese, ceramic and steel, and got pointed in the directio...

Nakiri bōchō translates to vegetable knife. The Shun Premier Nakiri knife is absolutely AMAZING for slicing, dicing and chopping veggies. It is light weight so your hands won't tire easily, but is so sharp that the knife goes right through without having to apply much pressure. The first time I used...

I previously had a Shun Premier 7" Santoku and a 4" pairing knife and it appeared that some sellers were clearing out some of their Shun Premier line so I expanded. This particular knife I went back and forth on whether I should get it or not. I'm a fairly serious carnivore so the concept of having ...

I have owned many knifes in over 30 years in the kitchen, I finally decided to by some new knives. The Shun premier are great, my first was this knife and I put it to the test. Three weeks out of the box, held its edge 6 days a week as the only knife in use. Now I take a steel to it once a week, may...

This knife is amazing. It is paper thin and slices through anything without needing to apply any pressure. We are starting to upgrade from our Henckels knives one or two knives at a time, and this knife was the first, and there is practically no comparison. While my Henckels knives are workhorses, a...

There are some reviews here that honestly DO NOT make any sense: It's always dull... It chips too easily... etc... ANY knives made from Damascus steel should NOT be thrown around, chopped with like an axe, or used on ANYTHING other than a WOOD CUTTING BOARD. As well, try watching Shun videos or thos...

Very fine knife. Perfect for small vegetable prep. Note however that it is a smaller knife, perfect for onions, carrots, cabbage. It's razor sharp and rather delicate. I don't think that this is the knife you want to use on hard-skinned winter vegetables like acorn squash. For that, your chef's knif...

We already own a set of Shun knives, but they do not begin to compare with this one! Not only is it super sharp and easy to use, it is beautiful to just gaze upon. No really, it is a genuine work of art. This knife has rekindled a joy for cooking that I have not felt in years. It chops through every...

Shun is my go to knife and I have never been disappointed. Nice and sharp out of the box. I cook a LOT and this holds an edge and is very comfortable and balanced. Perfect size for everyday chopping. Mostly vegetables. A bigger knife is more appropriate for meat etc. I would recommend to anyone to k...
