In Japanese, Shun translates to ‘at the peak of perfection.’ Using traditional samurai blade making techniques, Shun’s master craftsmen transform quality materials into supremely sharp Japanese knives for your kitchen.

Explore two premium Shun ranges available at Kitchen Warehouse and experience this unmatched perfectionism at home.

Shun Classic

The Shun Classic double bevel blade is forged with 68 layers of steel surrounding the VG-MAX cutting core. The wavy Damascus finish is not only visually impressive, it offers high stain resistance and lasting sharpness.

Shun Classic’s pakkawood handle is commonly found in a deep ebony colour. The straight handle features a D-shaped grip for enhanced stability, perfect for vigorous kitchen tasks.

Shun Premier

Premier knives are also forged with 68 layers of steel around the cutting core. However, this range takes it up a notch with its Tsuchime, or hammered, finish. This creates shallow cavities on the blade’s surface, allowing food to release easily from the knife as you slice.

Shun Premier’s pakkawood handle showcases an earthy walnut colour, denoting elegance and luxury, finished with a brass ring and an engraved steel end cap. Its contoured, ergonomic design is suited to both left and right handers, great for comfortable, prolonged use without fatigue.
