Shun Classic 5-Pcs Starter Japanese Knife Set with Block
The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block set comprises three essential Shun knives, along with the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel and an elegant 6-slot Slimline Block. Included are the 8-in Chef's Knife, the 3.5-in Paring Knife, and the 6-in Utility Knife. Regular honing using the provided Shun Combination Honing Steel helps preserve the edge, extending the intervals between sharpenings.
The Slimline Bamboo Block requires minimal countertop space and ensures easy maintenance. Despite these features, there's still space to augment your collection with an additional knife and a pair of kitchen shears.
- This attractive starter set covers all fundamental cutlery needs.
- The exclusive VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion-resistant, robust, and finely grained, providing a durable, razor-sharp 16° edge on each side.
- A total of 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding (68 in total) on each side support the core, enhancing stain resistance and facilitating food release from the blade.
- The D-shaped ebony-finished PakkaWood® handles are suitable for both left- and right-handed users, offering durability, aesthetics, and resistance to bacterial buildup.
- The full composite tang ensures a lightweight and perfectly balanced feel.
- These knives are meticulously crafted in Japan, while the honing steel and bamboo block are manufactured in China.
