From the makers of Japan's finest cutlery comes the Shun Premier collection with a unique new tsuchime finish. The hand-hammered blade has a rippled texture that functions like a hollow-ground surface, reducing drag for a gliding cut and quick release while slicing. The durable VG-MAX steel cores are clad with 34 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side for maximum strength and stability. Infused with resin, the uniquely contoured blonde birch handles nestle comfortably in the hand. This three-piece set ably handles a wide variety of cutting tasks. The paring knife excels at detailed work, the all-purpose chef's knife handles bigger jobs and the utility knife handles everything in between. Presented in a box, this set makes a lovely gift.
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.
