Hand‑Hammered Tsuchime Finish, VG‑MAX Core, Compact All‑Purpose Performance
The Shun Premier 6" Chef’s Knife (TDM0702) is a compact, agile alternative to the traditional 8" chef’s knife, offering exceptional control for slicing, chopping, mincing, and everyday prep. Its VG‑MAX cutting core delivers outstanding edge retention and sharpness, clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel for durability and stain resistance. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and helps food release cleanly from the blade.

A contoured walnut Pakkawood handle provides a warm, secure grip with excellent balance, making this knife ideal for cooks who prefer a lighter, more maneuverable chef’s knife. Hand‑sharpened to a 16° double‑bevel edge, the Premier 6" Chef’s Knife blends precision, beauty, and versatility in a compact profile.
