Craftsmanship & Provenance

 

Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan

Every Shun Premier knife is handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, long considered the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. Since 1908, Seki City has also been home to the makers of Shun fine cutlery, where ancient tradition continues to inform exceptional knives today.

 

A Legacy of Japanese Blade-Making

In the 13th century, Seki City was considered the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, and it remains one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers today.

 

At Least 100 Steps, Handcrafted

Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps to complete, combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship, premium materials, and modern technology. Premier also features a hammered Tsuchime finish and hand-sharpened blade for refined performance.

 

Why It Matters

The Shun name comes from the Japanese culinary tradition of shun: the exact moment when an ingredient is at its peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty. A very sharp knife helps preserve cellular structure for better texture, appearance, and taste, while premium blade materials help support lasting edge retention and corrosion resistance.

Traditional Japanese craftsmanship meets modern culinary performance in a knife designed to stay sharper longer, resist wear, and bring lasting value to the kitchen.
