The Shun Premier Blonde 5.5" Santoku Knife is a compact Japanese kitchen knife designed for everyday chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing with excellent control. Its shorter santoku blade is ideal for cooks who prefer a lighter, more agile knife for preparing vegetables, herbs, fruits, and boneless proteins.

Part of Shun’s elegant Premier Blonde collection, this santoku knife combines a VG-MAX cutting core with 68 micro layers of Damascus cladding, a hand-hammered tsuchime finish, and a blonde PakkaWood handle. Made in Japan, it delivers refined Premier styling, balanced handling, and dependable sharpness in a versatile smaller-format prep knife for daily cooking.
