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
VG-MAX Cutting Core
Shun’s newest “super steel” core is wear resistant, corrosion resistant and able to hold a fine, sharp edge. The blade is sharpened to a 16° angle on each side for lasting performance.
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.
Contoured Pakkawood Handle
Walnut-finish handle resists moisture while offering comfort, balance and control during prep.
Compact Santoku Profile
Designed for versatile kitchen use, this blade excels at slicing, chopping and precise cutting of fruits, vegetables, herbs and boneless proteins.
Handcrafted in Japan
Each knife is built with the fit, finish and attention to detail expected from traditional Japanese knife making.
Design & Heritage
The Premier series blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials and performance. Handcrafted in Japan, each knife is thoughtfully finished to deliver precision, balance and reliability for everyday cooking.
