From the makers of Japan's finest cutlery comes this Premier knife set with a unique "tsuchime" finish. The hand-hammered finish creates a rippled effect, reducing drag for a gliding cut and quick release. The razor-sharp cores are clad with 34 layers of stainless steel on each side for maximum strength and stability without adding weight. Blonde-hued handles provide comfort and control. Accommodating the 4-inch paring, 6.5-inch utility, 8-inch chef's and 9-inch bread knives with room to spare, the low-profile beechwood tray takes cutlery off the counter and stows it neatly in a drawer.

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.
