Shun

“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection.

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see.

Handcrafted in Japan

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Knife Steel is Essential

Heat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process.

Quality and Performance

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time.

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.

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.

But the real beauty of Premier is how it performs. Premier is designed to provide exceptionally agile handling. The lightweight, razor-sharp blades are quick and precise. The palm swell on the handle nestles into the hand to provide confident control - for both smaller and larger hands. The embossed endcap and brass ring provide both balance and beauty.

Cut my 22lb Pork Shoulder with zero effort! SHARP and Beautiful!

Cut my 22lb Pork Shoulder with zero effort! SHARP and Beautiful!
Just added this to my Shun collection after starting purchasing large cuts of pork and beef. My first use of the knife was a huge success. I am brand new to butchering large cuts of meat and I knew I loved my other Shun Premier knifes. The price and finding this in stock slowed down my purchase but so glad I got one.Upon slicing the 22lb shoulder to something more manageable I simply used the weight/gravity of the meat itself applied to the knife to slice. I never understood exactly what "cut like butter" was after all my $40 knife sets all failed me. This knife did exactly that. Look forward to passing this set to my daughter some day. This and the ultimate utility knife are my favorite knifes in this set because of the beauty and raver sharp! Thank you Shun!

extremely sharp, well balanced and looks amazing! I was looking for a knife to trim and cut raw meat without hacking away at the meat. After researching many knives, I choice this one because it is thin, multiple layers of folded steel for strength and the low angle edge.

I know it is a Boning/Fillet knife but this is a hands on test on fruits and vegetables.

Tomato, rest the blade on top and pull back and the shear weight of the knife will cut through without resistance!
Carrot, can cut so thin the slices are transparent!
Bell pepper, scary fast, like a hot knife in butter!
Raw chicken, (trimming excess fat off) Simply amazing, this is why I bought this knife!! It cuts through meat and fat so easy, it's scary! Do not be careless and cut your fingers! Kiss them goodbye!
Raw beef, again like a hot knife through butter!

Just use the curve of the blade do the work, flex your wrist and don't cut yourself!

One of the sharpest blades I have ever used and own! Just buy it! Treat yourself now!!

I butcher at least 100 lbs of meat a year. Every time, I pull out my $15 POS boning knife and make due.

Hell, all of my kitchen knives are Japanese Aogami Blue steel (TREAT YOURSELF, you can get a decent gunto for about $85) and I'm still using this crappy $15 boning knife.?

The knife is solid in my hand, good grip and good balance. The tip is a great shape for all of the separation work, and the heavy blade should work great for cutting up steaks & chops.

I was worried about how well it would take an edge (because its stainless steel), but it took a scary-sharp edge in about 15 minutes. I guess the bevel is at about 16%.

Ha Ha, bring on the primal!

This is a fantastic knife. Not gonna lie, I cringed at the idea of spending this much on a knife. Most of my knives are $12 IKEA knives, which aren't bad. I have a few other higher end knives too, so I know the difference. I do a lot of meat cutting, I buy my beef in whole cows and have them rough cut at the butcher. So I needed a knife that could trim, cut and slice and this is it. It finely trims just the right amount of fat of a brisket, cuts around a bone on a big roast, or slices you're finished steak off like a champ. Money well spent.

Highly recommend if you want a serious knife. Be careful washing it though...don't find out the hard way how sharp it is! lol

OMG This knife is a thing of beauty. I'm almost afraid of using it and marring it. Got to keep my wife away from it. I have several Shun Classic and Hiro knives in my collection which we use on a daily basis and have for years. I touch up all my blades monthly with a superfine DMT hone, so they are always super sharp. My wife is always cursing at me for getting these knives because she nicks herself all the time with the heel of the blade. I keep showing her how to properly hold these knives, but she still seems to get nicked. It has actually become humorous. She also occasionally gets the blades nicked up..ARGH! from chopping with them instead slicing with them. I have just gotten used to it; not worth getting upset. Now that I have gotten that out of that out of my system, this knife is a marvel of craftsmanship. I have wanted a highly curved blade for some time. I'll probably will use it mostly for trimming fat caps. But occasionally I get fresh fish so this will be a godsend for filleting. The blade appears to be slightly thinner than my other knives, but definitely not flexible, but this is a boning knife not a fillet knife, so I'm good with that. I also like that this has an ambidextrous handle. Did I say this knife is BEAUTIFUL!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Shun
Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2023
Style: KnifeVerified Purchase
I have two other Shun knives, so am quite familiar with the brand. Love them, and love the boning/fillet knife.

I recently got into smoking meat, which involves A LOT of prep work and post-smoke cutting. Especially cutting excess fat from a brisket. Yikes! I also needed a good knife for filleting salmon, black cod and other whole fish.

The Shun meets or exceeds all my expectations in terms of sharpness and ease-of-use. It is truly a pleasure to use. I feel like a surgeon as I am cutting up the meat. Its sooo accurate. Aesthetically, it is also a thing of beauty. Which is not really important for a knife, but still ...

So, Shuns are great ... yada yada yada.

But, the point I want to make in this review is to compare it (from the Premier line) with the Shun Classic line. My other two Shuns are both Classics. One a hollow ground Santoku and a Slicing knife. Other than the aesthetics, all three perform equivalently and take a super fine edge. I would be indifferent between choosing to cut with a Premier or a Classic. I bought the Premier on Prime Day, priced $20 more than the Classic, which was not included in the Prime sale. I would do it again. But the current $40 difference ... meh. Maybe a bridge too far.

One other thing I will mention is its use as a fillet knife. The Shun has a super fine tip. Great for digging in and making precision cuts. Many fillet knives are longer (e.g. 9"), but more importantly flexible. If you have any fillet experience or watch some videos, skinning a fillet requires getting the knife blade as close to the skin as possible. Bending the blade on the table (skin side down) to make the skinning cut. The Shun is very stiff, and also a short for a larger fish. I may end up getting an additional fillet knife, e.g. a Bubba 9-inch Tapered Flex fillet knife.
