Hand‑Hammered Tsuchime Finish, VG‑MAX Core, Precision Control
The Shun Premier 4" Paring Knife (TDM0700) is a handcrafted, precision kitchen tool designed for peeling, trimming, coring, and detailed in‑hand work. Its VG‑MAX cutting core delivers exceptional edge retention and sharpness, supported by 34 layers of Damascus stainless cladding per side for stain resistance and durability. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag and helps food release cleanly from the blade.

A contoured walnut Pakkawood handle provides a warm, comfortable grip with excellent control for fine tasks. Hand‑sharpened to a 16° double‑bevel edge and finished with Shun’s signature craftsmanship, the Premier Paring Knife is a compact, elegant essential for any kitchen.
