Shun Premier 7-Inch Vegetable Cleaver

Shun Premier 7-Inch Vegetable Cleaver is a vegetable cleaver for slicing, dicing and preparing produce. Its broad rectangular blade gives plenty of height for guiding repeated cuts through cabbage, greens and other vegetables on a stable board.

At a glance

• Vegetable-cleaver profile

  The broad blade is intended for food preparation, not chopping through bones or frozen ingredients.

• 7-inch blade

  This 7-inch format helps define the working reach. Match it to your usual ingredients and leave room for the cutting stroke.

• Hammered finish

  The hammered tsuchime surface sits above the layered blade pattern, giving Premier its recognizable texture.

• Contoured Pakkawood

  The resin-treated wood handle has a rounded, contoured shape that differs from the Classic D-profile.

Find your fit

Choose it when blade height and vegetable work matter more than a pointed tip. Its outline should not be mistaken for permission to tackle heavy bone-chopping jobs. Read our vegetable cleaver guide for practical comparisons.

Care and storage

Wash by hand with mild detergent, then towel-dry the blade and handle before putting the knife away. Keep the edge protected in a suitable block, tray or guard. See our knife-care guide for a practical routine.
