You know your way around a kitchen, whether as an avid home cook or in the professional world. So it's time to get the block set that matches your needs: the Shun Classic 9-Piece Chef's Choice Block Set. Of course you get the essential kitchen knives every cook needs, but the knives in this set go beyond just the basics. For example, this set includes both an 8-in. Chef's Knife and our 5.5-in. Santoku for added cutting versatility. The Chef's Choice Block Set also includes our 6-in. Utility Knife, Shun Classic 3.5-in. Paring Knife and the 8.25-in. Offset Bread Knife. The 9-in. Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife features hollow-ground indentations for extra-easy, extra-perfect slicing. The Shun Classic 6-in. Boning/Fillet Knife makes it easy to work with meats, poultry, and fish. To round out this beautiful set, Shun includes our Combination Honing Steel to help maintain your Shun-sharp edges, and our 22-Slot Bamboo Block.
Shun's Classic Series offers the widest assortment of traditional Japanese and European blade shapes and contemporary designs. At first glance, you'll notice instantly the beautiful waved pattern on the blade which resembles a combination of tree-rings and ripples in water. This form of Kasumi-style knife making similar to pattern Damascus, or in Japanese suminigashi ("ink pattern"), is not only visually appealing but actually allows the blade to slide through food easier. This variation of pattern Damascus is formed by folding, welding, grinding, and polishing 32 layers (16 per side) of softer steel (SUS410/SUS431) that protect and support the VG-10 stainless steel core. The D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handle fits perfectly in the hand and stabilizes the blade to prevent turning.
Shun in Japanese actually translates to "at the peak of perfection," and no words could better describe this outstanding company. Renowned for their traditional knife making style and aesthetic design, the highly skilled artisans at the Kai Corporation (the parent company of "Shoon") have been making blades of the highest quality in homage of the legendary sword smiths of Seki, Japan for over 100 years. Each and every knife is handmade, from beginning to end, requiring at least 100 meticulous steps along the way. It is out of this respect and admiration towards their ancestors, coupled with advanced technology and materials, that Shun produces basically pieces of art that also happen to be razor-sharp knives.
