Shun Classic Blonde 7-Piece Block Set

Description

The amazing razor-sharp knives in this seven-piece set are created in Seki City, Japan’s 700-year-old center for samurai swords. The rippled Damascus finish on each blade is achieved by forging 34 layers of stainless steel on each side. Corrosion-resistant blades are ground to an exceptional 16-degree angle, then polished by hand. Impregnated with resin for durability, the beautiful blonde birch wood handles won’t harbor bacteria and are comfortable for left- or right-hand use. A matching honing steel with two sharpening surfaces keeps the knives in their best condition. A fantastic wedding, housewarming or graduation gift, this set includes a 9″ bread knife, 8″ chef’s knife, 6.5″ nakiri knife, 3.5″ paring knife, 6″ utility knife and honing steel. The slim birch block offers two extra slots for future additions to a cutlery collection.

Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp knives are created in Seki City, Japan’s 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
