The the first thing that catches the eye about the beautiful Shun Premier series is its magnificent tsuchime (tsoo-CHEE-may) finish. This hammered finish combined with Premier’s mirror blade polish and intricately layered Damascus, gives Shun Premier a look that may be at once rustic and sophisticated. Each and every blade has a cutting core of Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge. The Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade, where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed—very similar to the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered the use of a traditional clay-baking technique.
