    Get Started

    Start your knife collection off right with this classic set. Lightweight yet durable, the all-purpose chef's knife efficiently performs nearly any cutting task. The paring knife nimbly handles more detailed jobs such as peeling and trimming, while the utility knife is the perfect in-between size for in-between tasks. The knives pair steel blades with D-shaped PakkaWood ® handles of resin-impregnated birch. The honing steel's built-in angle guide takes the guesswork out of sharpening, and the two honing surfaces—smooth for everyday use, micro-ribbed for weekly care—maintain prized knives beautifully. Sleek ebony-hued handles contrast with the stainless steel tools.A slim bamboo block holds the pair, with room left over for a pair of shears and one more knife. Created in Japan by highly skilled artisans, the set includes 8" chef's knife, 3.5" paring knife, 6" utility knife, combination honing steel and 6-slot bamboo slimline block.

    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.
