At the heart of every Premier knife is a VG-MAX steel core, Shun’s proprietary formula for edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance. Protected by 69 layers of Damascus cladding, the core stays sharper longer while the Damascus adds resilience and beauty. Together, they create a blade that performs brilliantly day after day and looks as striking as the food it helps you prepare.
The name Shiranami, meaning “white-capped wave” in Japanese, reflects the knife’s stunning blade pattern, forged from 71-layer Dual Core Damascus for superior sharpness and durability. Featuring an exceptionally sharp blade edge and a finely honed mid-blade for effortless slicing, this series sets a new standard in cutting performance and beauty.
