When boning, the narrow, sharp, curved blade of the Premier Gokujo Boning and Fillet Knife gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from bone. The extremely sharp edge cuts through fibrous material with ease; it's perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast or even making your own cutlets. The blade's six-inch length and narrowness is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin. Elegant and beautiful, the Shun Premier line of knives is unlike any knives you've owned. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. Featuring layered Damascus steel for strength, the hand-hammered finish (known as 'tsuchime' in Japanese) lends not only to the beauty, but creates the hollow-ground feature that reduces knife-drag and prevents food from sticking to the blade. Ultra-thin and incredibly sharp, these blades feature a 16-degree blade angle making the blade flexible, but much sharper than traditional Western knives. The gorgeous Packwood handles in walnut finish are both sleek and stylish, and are shaped to fit the palm of your hand in a variety of secure and comfortable grips. The Shun logo is embossed on the end cap, making these knives beautiful in and out of the knife block. Incredibly thin, sharp blades, stylish finishing details and created in the Japanese styling that Shun is famous for; you know your Premier line of knives will work just as hard as you do in your kitchen. Hand washing only; limited lifetime warranty.
