Hand‑Hammered Tsuchime Finish, VG‑MAX Core, All‑Purpose Japanese Prep Knife
The Shun Premier 7" Santoku (TDM0705) is a versatile, all‑purpose Japanese kitchen knife ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing with precision and ease. Its VG‑MAX cutting core provides exceptional 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 smoothly from the blade.

A contoured walnut Pakkawood handle offers a warm, comfortable grip with excellent balance, making the Santoku a natural extension of the hand during prep work. Hand‑sharpened to a 16° double‑bevel edge, the Premier Santoku blends traditional Japanese performance with Shun’s signature craftsmanship and elegance.
