A chef's knife is a personal choice. That’s why Shun offers so many different lines and blade lengths. For instance, in the same way that some cooks prefer a longer chef's knife, others prefer a shorter length. For cooks who enjoy the lightweight nimbleness of a shorter blade, we offer the Shun Premier 15cm Chef's Knife. Of course, it performs all the tasks for which you choose a chef's knife, from slicing and dicing to making rocking cuts through herbs. Yet it also offers the quick, agile performance and high degree of control that a slightly smaller knife can provide. The tradition and skills handed down from the swordsmiths of ancient Japan have always been an inspiration and integral part of every Kai product since the company's foundation. Similarly, Kai Shun kitchen knives are made using a combination of state-of-the-art technology and long experience, and are highly esteemed all over the world. Each Shun knife is handcrafted in Japan and requires at least 100 meticulous steps to complete. All Shun Premier knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.
