Shun Premier Vegetable Knife 3" (7.62 cm) Blade

Calling to mind the handcrafting techniques of ancient Japan, this Shun Premier 3" Vegetable Knife possesses the grace and beauty of hand-forged knives of old. The blade is made of VG10 steel, clad with 16 layers on either side of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. The striking hammered finish (“Tsuchime” in Japanese) acts as a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing food from the blade. The walnut PakkaWood® handles nestle comfortably in the hand, and the Shun logo embossed on the bottom adds balance and beauty to the knife, whether in the hand or at rest in the block.
