From everyday prep to special-occasion recipes, this full-service knife set answers every cooking call. Kitchen basics include a 3.5-inch paring, 6-inch utility, 8-inch chef's, 5.5-inch santoku and 8.25-inch bread knives. A 9-inch hollow-ground knife excels at slicing thanks to indentations on the blade to keep foods from sticking, and the 6-inch boning knife makes it easy to prep meats, poultry and fish. All knives feature comfortable D-shaped handles and razor-sharp blades showcasing a stain-resistant Damascus steel "rippled" finish achieved by forging 34 layers of steel on each side. A honing steel and 22-slot bamboo block complete the set.

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