User questions & answers

Question:	I am buying this knife as a gift. What kind of packaging does it come with? i.e A cardboard box, plastic wrapping etc
Answer:	These knives, along with all traditional Japanese knives of this style have what are called "push-tangs" or "rat-tail" tangs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this style tang, and you should not worry. They will most certainly hold up to kitchen use! Knives of this style from Japan can come with price tags of over $500 for a single knife!
Question:	Does this knife have an offset bolster like the classic knife? I am lefthanded and don't feel comfortable the way the classic knife is made
Answer:	5.75" from tip to heel. You can use to cut sashimi if you are not making fine cuts or cutting tougher fish (for example, octopus or mirugai). However, real sashimi and sushi knives have single-beveled blades; this one has a double-beveled blade.

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.

Shun Premier

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.

Pakkawood Handle

Shun Premier features a PakkaWood Handle that offers a comfortable grip. Walnut-colored PakkaWood is durable, and won't harbor bacteria. The embossed endcap adds beauty and balance.

The handle features a full composite tang that adds strength and balance.

16 Degree Cutting Edge

Like all Shun knives, the Premier line features a 16 degree cutting edge that is hand sharpened and razor sharp. The blade has a double-bevel, quick taper, and flat ground.

VG-MAX Cutting Core

Shun Premier features our VG-MAX steel, the newest of the VG line of "super steels". Available only from Shun, this extremely fine-grained steel has been enhanced to offer "maximum" performance, strength, corrosion resistance, and a sharp, long-lasting edge.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm looking for a knife for cutting tomatoes and bagels. I have other knifes for most other tasks, but It looks like this Shun TDM0722 will fit
Answer:	Cardboard on the blade, so you will want to get a cover for the blade itself. The knife comes in a nice black and gold box. No other wrapping of any kind.
Question:	How wide is the blade where it meets the handle? I am trying to see if this will be too wide for a slot in our knife block
Answer:	The Shun Premier series does not have an offset bolster like the Classic. it is made for both left and right handed users.
Question:	why is this serrated knife not serrated in the middle
Answer:	If you mean single or double bevel it is double bevel, sharpen on both sides to 15 degrees.EDIT: Amazon is mixing questions for all Kai Wasabi knives, the Nakiri and utility are double bevel. The deba, yanagabi are single bevel.
Question:	how is this serrated knife
Answer:	From the description, >>Made with Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless steel for superior edge retention<< Hardness is a steel property, as you surely know. So check the steel specs. ;)

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the blade length from tip to heel? Thank You
Answer:	KAI Wasabi Black knives are mostly made with Daido 1K6 steel, which is "stainless" steel, but it's not high-stainless steel like 18-8 (18% Chromium, 8% Nickel). This means that in real-world use of most home cooks the knives will tarnish if not handled properly. Easiest way to avoid that is by hand-washing and wiping dry with a towel. Having said that, if your KAI Wasabi Black knives do develop some small rust spots or begin to have slightly tarnished appearance, the easiest solution to that is a simple rust eraser or high-grit sandpaper. I remove tarnish on my KAI Wasabi Black knives either using Simichrome paste or slurry from the Japanese sharpening stones that I use. Small tip - don't waste your time polishing the sides, it will only make the knives look good, but food will be more likely to stick to the blade. Just enough slurry or paste combined with elbow grease to remove the tarnished steel is all that you need.
Question:	What is the blade height
Answer:	Forged? No, not forged. But a really nice knife for the price. Good hand feel, reasonably sharp and light. I bought 4 more sizes after the first.
Question:	Are these knives made in Japan or Taiwan
Answer:	I am left handed. The single bevel grind you are referring to is what's called a "chisel-grind", and as such are designed with either right-hand specific, or left-hand specific users in mind. Only the Deba, Usuba, and Yanagiba knives from the Wasabi line are chisel-ground (right handed orientation). All of the other knives from Wasabi are made with a standard 50/50 grind and will be suitable for left-handed users like myself. Hope this helps.
Question:	what is Rockwell Hardness
Answer:	Made in Japan

Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. The acute 16 degree angle of Shun edges won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in their construction. Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blades resist rusting and maintain their razor edge for a considerable time. The handles are made of a resin and hardwood fusion known as PakkaWood, and form a "D" or slight tear-drop profile with a side ridge that most comfortably fits a right-handed user. Covered by a lifetime warranty, Shun knives are dishwasher-safe, but are best cared for when washed and dried--carefully--by hand. --Ann Bieri

• The broad, hand-sharpened 16° single-bevel blade is 6-inch (15. 2 cm), with a curved belly that allows the cook to rock the knife on the cutting board when mincing garlic, onions and jalapenos
• The Ultimate Utility Knife’s cutting edge has a low-frequency serration perfect for slicing through the thin skin of fruits and vegetables, while the rounded tip is ideal for spreading and buttering
• The beautiful and stylish D-Shaped ebony PakkaWood grip handle enhances the elegant, minimalist shape of the knife and complements the swirling patterns of the layered Damascus stainless steel
• With its top-quality, multifunctional performance in a home or commercial kitchen and striking, attractive appearance, the Classic Ultimate Utility Knife incorporates the best of form and function

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this knife dishwasher proof
Answer:	Serrated blades are unnecessary. All you need is one sharp chef's knife for everything, with the exception of butchering 300 lbs pigs. You should use a blade that is sharp enough to cut everything, and you should keep it sharp with a stone. I have the 8" chef's blade Shun and as long as I keep it sharp it will slice as good or better than any serrated blade. I've done my fair share of cutting sandwiches, bagels, squashes, etc with the same blade for the last few years on the line at high-volume fine-dining restaurants. Get a $30 King stone instead of filling your knife bag with unnecessary (and expensive) blades. Also, I slice tomatoes and avocadoes as thinly as I want with little resistance.
Question:	Looking at a shun knife as christmas gift for my wife. can anyone compare the vb0741 (plastic handle) vs. dm
Answer:	On my Shun Premier 6.5-inch Serrated Utility Knife, the widest part of the blade before it tapers to the handle is 34 mm.
Question:	Is this knife made with full tang construction
Answer:	Gives the best of both worlds ... bites when it needs to, glides through when it needs to. I love it!
Question:	How difficult is it to sharpen this knife, once it eventually needs to be sharpened
Answer:	It's the best ever!! If you want a real quality knife, this is surely the way to go!

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.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Shun brand products sold by Kai USA Ltd. are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

Product description

Tomato skins and avocado peels can provide a difficult cutting challenge but are no match for the serrated edge and sturdy blade of the Shun Classic 6-inch Utility Knife. In between a paring and chef’s knife in size, the 6-inch Utility Knife has a narrower and straighter serrated blade, enabling it to easily slice through tougher exteriors without tearing the soft interiors of foods like avocados, tomatoes, and fruits like kiwi. It also works well on foods with a tougher casing like some sausages and hard cheeses. Shun knives are made by highly skilled artisans through a more than 100-step process, providing exceptional quality. The cutting core of the blade is made from VG-MAX steel, a proprietary formula of carbon, cobalt, tungsten and chromium for increased durability, corrosion resistance, and sharpness. The core is supported by 34 micro-layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, which creates the beautiful rippling pattern on the blade and adds stain resistance.

Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade.

The 6-inch blade of this Shun utility knife features a serrated edge, which makes it ideal for slicing through ripe, summer tomatoes. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless-steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as it is lovely, the utility knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although it's so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park

User questions & answers

Question:	Single bevel or double? — description says both
Answer:	Shun knives are hand wash only. The chemicals and heat used in dishwashers are too abrasive and they will damage the knife.
Question:	Do both sides of the serrated blade look identical
Answer:	Sorry, Jeff, but all I can tell you for sure is that this Shun knife is an excellent sandwich knife. My qualifications: was a professional gourmet sandwich "builder" and am known to friends and family as "the best" sandwich maker they know. I take that last compliment with a grain of salt, sea or kosher, of course. The only ding against this knife is that it is not made of "springy" steel--it will stay bent in any given forced angle. A fillet knife, in contrast, will not stay bent. I've had/been using this knife for years and the handle, non-plastic, is very comfortable--I am right handed--and shows less wear than the blade. I've never put this knife in a dishwasher and never will. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does this come with a protecting sleeve
Answer:	Unlikely, partial tang if I had to guess. Regardless, perfectly balanced and very sturdy. This knife is made for slicing tomatoes, it’s not a bayonet. I wouldn’t worry about the tang construction.
Question:	does this knife have to be sharpened often
Answer:	Actually, this is a scalloped edge, rather than a serrated one (with pointed teeth). To touch it up (all it should need for a long while if used properly), use the edge of a leather strop, with very fine compound, and lightly draw the knife (edge-trailing only) along the strop at the angle of the scallops. To find the angle, if you're not sure, use a Sharpie to color the bevel, and then you'll see where you're stropping. Then once or twice on the flat side of the knife down the flat side of the strop to remove any burr, and you should be good to go. Emphasis on lightly, so you don't roll the edge. When it comes time to sharpen, as opposed to honing, a good professional sharpener (I'm one), or send back to Shun. Good luck!

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.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun brand products sold by Kai USA Ltd. are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this knife can cut cold meat
Answer:	Think of it as a single bevel, or you're never going to be able to sharpen it. There's a barely noticeable counter bevel (probably their honing & removing whatever burr got pulled up on the boron steel "middle" layer? I'm away from home, just now and can't look at it). Bottom line: damn thing works better, now, than when I wrote the review. Can't believe Shun had much experience with serrated blades. But they sure thought this one out VERY well!
Question:	Can this knife be sharpened like normal on a water stone? i need a knife like this but i don't want to sharpen each individual serration each time. ty
Answer:	Both sides look nearly identical! Only the active cutting edge has the serrated sharpening. (like "vvvvv")On the other side you can see the knifetooth. (like "uuuuu")
Question:	How do you sharpen this blade type
Answer:	No, just a cardboard sleeve as packaging inside the box. We reused it for moving, but it wouldn't hold up over time.
Question:	I want a serrated knife to add to my Shun Premier set. I need recommendations on this knife versus the 6.5 inch serrated utility knife
Answer:	Nah, though it's a REAL pain to do without a jig. The HRC's up around 64 for the boron steel core. I use this for bread, tomatoes, etc. Have used it VERY often. A thinner, crappier knife might do every bit as well though. MAC, Global, Wurstof & Felix make offset bread & tomato knives for less? The Shun Alton Brown "utility" knife's still my favorite.

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.

VG-MAX Cutting Core

Shun Premier features our VG-MAX steel, the newest of the VG line of "super steels". Available only from Shun, this extremely fine-grained steel has been enhanced to offer "maximum" performance, strength, corrosion resistance, and a sharp, long-lasting edge.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this knife serrated or straight edged
Answer:	No, would not sharpen this on a water stone and that would definitely destroy this blade. This knife also is handled differently than a Chefs Knife in that you must use a "sawing" action and not press straight down as is an option on straight blade knifes. I enjoy this knife for cutting (not chopping); beautiful design. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can you sharpen this knife
Answer:	Yes. Shun sell a rod although you can buy identical cheaper ones. The technique is to just run it along the sides of the blades (both) quickly a few times. Keep it at an angle not directly on the bottom of the knife. It takes 15 or 20 seconds and is effortless. Keeps them sharp.
Question:	does it come with a case
Answer:	Yes we have this knife in our set. We probably use it the least of our 7 Shun knifes. The utility serrated knife is our go to on so many hings. This knife is good on some softer meat cuts and larger vegetables but it needs to be kept sharp.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this knife need regular sharpening
Answer:	Yes it comes with a case. But it is very tight. Truthfully I didn't feel good about trying to get the cases on and off, it would be so easy to cut yourself really bad doing this.
Question:	Is this full tang
Answer:	I think you can cut cold meat with any Shun knife, but this one is really best for things like tomatoes or other fruit because the blade edge is deeply serrated. The carving knife is great for meat!
