Shun Premier Damascus 3-Piece Knife Set With Pakkawood Handle, includes Chef’s Knife 8-in, Bread Knife 9-in and Paring Knife 4-in, Made in Seki, Japan

The first thing that catches the eye about the beautiful Shun Premier series is its magnificent tsuchime (tsoo-CHEE-may) finish. This hammered finish combined with Premier's mirror blade polish and intricately layered Damascus, gives Shun Premier a look that is at once rustic and sophisticated. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. The Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade, where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed—similar to the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique.

• SET INCLUDES: Set composed by Shun Premier Chef’s Knife 8-in (TDM0706); Bread Knife 9-in (TDM0705) and Paring Knife 4-in (TDM0700)
• CHEF'S KNIFE: The Shun 8-inch Premier Chef's knife is the perfect all-purpose kitchen knife. It's ideal for preparing fruit, vegetables, meat and more.
• BREAD KNIFE: Razor-sharp, wide, “low frequency” serrations allow the user to gently saw through the bread without crushing or tearing and with much less crumbing; gently glide through bread
