Lightweight yet durable, these handcrafted knives efficiently perform nearly any cutting task. The all-purpose chef's knife handles everyday prep, while the paring knife nimbly pares, peels and handles other detail work. The utility knife is the perfect in-between size for in-between tasks. Created in Japan by highly skilled artisans, these knives pair steel blades with D-shaped PakkaWood handles of resin-impregnated birch. The sleek ebony-hued handles contrast intriguingly with the blades' flowing layers of Damascus stainless steel cladding. A fabulous present for newlyweds, recent graduates or passionate home chefs, this set includes a 3.5" paring knife, 6" utility knife and 8" chef's knife in a gift-ready box.

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