Shun Cutlery Shun Premier Blonde 5-Piece Starter Knife Block Set

For a rugged yet refined start or addition to your cutlery arsenal, use the Shun Premier Blonde 5-Piece Starter Knife Block Set. Offering the striking and sophisticated performance abilities of Shun Premier with an elevated new look, the Shun Premier Blonde Collection is comprised of full-composite tang blades that maneuver your meal preparation with ease.

Including one 8″ Chef’s Knife, one 6.5″ Utility Knife, and one 4″ Paring Knife, this set is the perfect way to begin or expand your kitchen knife collection. 68 layers of micro-thin Damascus steel are hand-hammered to create a Japanese-style “tsuchime” finish that allows foods to free from the blade with ease. The VG-MAX super steel core maintains the integrity of the blades over time, adding wear and corrosion resistance. Undeniably lightweight and evenly balanced, the blades are housed by comfort-contoured, moisture-resistant Pakkawood handles in a light blonde color and finished with stainless steel caps for subtle elegance. Maintaining your blades is simple with the Combination Honing Steel. Made entirely of stainless steel, this dual-sided honing rod ensures your blades remain razor-sharp. The smooth surface allows for everyday honing, while the micro-ribbed side is for weekly maintenance. When your chopping and slicing tasks are completed, the sustainably constructed Slimline Bamboo Block allows your knives to be attractively on display. Featuring four knife slots, a honing slot, and a kitchen shear slot, your most-used knives will be at an arm’s reach ready to tackle all of your everyday slicing tasks. Elevate your food prep experience with the Shun Premier Blonde 5-Piece Starter Knife Block Set!
