Shun Premier 5.5" Santoku Knife – TDM0727 – Made in Japan – Authorized USA Dealer

The Shun Premier 5.5" Santoku is a beautifully crafted, all-around knife designed for cooks who want top performance in a smaller, lightweight blade. Shun makes many styles so you can choose the knife that works best for you. This compact Santoku sits between a full-size model and a utility knife, making it ideal for most medium-sized kitchen tasks such as slicing baby carrots, dicing shallots, cutting butter or chocolate, and more. If you have smaller hands or prefer a more nimble blade, this could quickly become one of your go-to knives at home.

Key Features

68-Layer Damascus Cladding
Beautiful layered steel supports and protects the core, adding strength and visual depth.

Hammered Tsuchime Finish
The hand-hammered surface helps food release easily from the blade while reducing drag.

Compact Santoku Profile
