Use & Care

Use wood or soft synthetic cutting boards, not glass, stone, metal, or bamboo.

Store with the blade protected.
Hone gently when needed and use appropriate sharpening methods for the edge; serrated edges should be professionally serviced rather than sharpened like a plain edge.

Shun Premier Santoku 5.5" Knife
5.5" compact Japanese all-purpose knife with VG-MAX Damascus blade and hammered tsuchime finish
The Shun Premier 5.5" Santoku Knife offers the slicing, dicing, and chopping versatility of a santoku in a more compact blade. It suits shallots, vegetables, fruit, and boneless proteins when a full-size knife feels unnecessarily large.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Design & Grace is an authorized Shun retailer. Your purchase is backed by Shun’s limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, with knowledgeable support from our Texas team.
An Agile Everyday Blade
The shorter santoku sits between a utility knife and larger chef’s knife. Its broad edge gives useful knuckle clearance and control for precise prep on a smaller board.
Signature Features
VG-MAX cutting core: Fine 16° double-beveled edge with 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel cladding.
Compact santoku shape: Useful for slicing, dicing, and controlled chopping.
Hammered tsuchime finish: Textured surface helps ingredients release.
Walnut-colored Pakkawood: Comfortable contoured grip with moisture resistance.
From Our Founder
"This is a very useful size when the board is small or the ingredients do not need a full eight-inch knife. It keeps the Santoku’s versatility with less blade to manage."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
