Classic // Starter Block Set // Set of 5

The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block includes three of Shun’s most essential knives, as well as the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel and a beautiful 6-slot Slimline Block. Enjoy the 8” Chef’s Knife, the 3.5” Paring Knife, and the 6” Utility Knife. With these three knives in your kitchen, you’ll be able to handle any task. By regularly honing with the included steel, your knives will maintain their edge, prolonging the time between sharpenings. The beautiful bamboo block will look great on your kitchen counter, and because it doesn’t absorb moisture, making it shrink or swell like other hardwoods, it’s ideal for use with kitchen accessories. You’ll have room for an extra Shun knife or a pair of Kitchen or Herb Shears in you bamboo block as well.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles, along with razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
