The Shun Classic 5 Piece Block Set will raise your chopping, slicing, dicing and cutting tasks to a culinary art form.

Included in the set is a 9cm Paring knife that sits well in the hand, with a small pointed blade suited for precise tasks such as trimming and peeling fruit and vegetables. A Chefs 20cm knife designed in the traditional European shape and arguably the most versatile of all knives in the kitchen. A traditional Japanese all purpose Santoku 18cm, suitable for slicing, dicing, and chopping. And finally a pair of soft handled Kitchen Scissors with blades that easily separate for quick wash up - perfect for a variety of tasks ranging from cutting herbs to butterflying a chicken.

Each Shun Classic knife has a core of proprietary VG-MAX steel for a solid yet precise cutting edge which is clad each side with 34 layers of Damascus Steel (69 layers total including the core) for increased durability.

D-shaped (best suited for right-handers) PakkaWood handles are made from compressed layers of resin impregnated hardwood to provide a moisture resistant, strong, and durable connection with the blade and your hand. As with natural wood, no two pieces of Pakkawood are exactly alike.

Razor sharp out of the box, this beautiful set of premium quality knives will provide you many pleasurable years of food prep and cooking.
