Inspired by the Japanese word for "white-capped wave," Shun's Shiranami cutlery collection boasts an exquisitely waved pattern on every blade. The rippled Damascus finish is formed by 71 layers of durable stainless steel. Maintaining exceptional sharpness, this versatile six-piece knife set handles a wide range of cutting tasks with impeccable performance. Deep blue resin embeds natural jute, creating a lattice-patterned handle with subtle texture for a secure grip. Presenting the 4-inch paring, 6.5-inch nakiri, 6.5-inch master utility and 8-inch chef's knives plus a honing rod, the eight-slot birchwood block allows room to expand your collection.

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