Shun Premier In-Drawer Knives, Set of 6

The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Expertly crafted in Japan, the VG-MAX "super steel" blades are thin and lightweight yet remarkably strong. This set includes five essential knives and a sleek beech wood tray to keep them neatly organized in a drawer.

• Blades feature core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
• Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles have two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel endcaps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and ideal weight distribution from end to end.
• In-drawer storage tray is made of beech wood and safely holds up to 7 knives.
• A Williams Sonoma exclusive.

Use

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent.
• Rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid using cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice per year.
• Sharpen straight-edged knives using whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Sharpen serrated knife using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blade or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
