Shun Cutlery Premier Chef's 10" Knife. Because of Premier's thinner, lighter blades, you will find that this larger chef's knife handles just as easily as a smaller one, while still providing the longer cutting edge you want. Professional chefs often choose a longer blade length in order to handle an increased volume of product and improve efficiency in the kitchen.

The Shun Premier 10-in. Chef's Knife handles everything from small to large foods. The wide blade helps keep knuckles off the cutting board and is very handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. The curved belly makes rocking cuts easy, too.

SHUN CUTLERY

In Japan, the blade is more than a tool; it’s a tradition. From legendary samurai swords to the handcrafted culinary cutlery of today, the exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese blades is admired worldwide. Shun is a time—the exact moment when a fruit is perfectly ripe, a vegetable is at its best, or meat is at its most flavorful. The Shun name honors this tradition of seasonal, mindful eating and is a mark of Shun's dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.
