The perfect starter set for any novice or professional, the Shun Premier 2 Piece Build-A-Block Set with a bonus Combination Honing Steel features three important components for any culinary chef: an 8-Inch Chef’s knife , 6-Slot Slimline Bamboo Knife Block to store your entire knives and a Premier Combination Honing Steel to keep blades sharp between professional sharpening. The Shun Premier Combination Honing Steel features 2 sides: one side for honing and another for polishing. Elegant and beautiful, Shun Premier knives are unlike any knives you’ve owned. Featuring layered Damascus steel for strength, the hand-hammered finish (referred to as ‘tsuchime’ in Japanese) lends not only to the beauty, but creates the hollow-ground feature that reduces knife-drag and prevents food from sticking to the blade. Blades are made with Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX cutting core and clad with 69-layers of Damacus cladding. The gorgeous Pakkawood handles in walnut finish are both sleek and stylish and are shaped to fit the palm of your hand in numerous protected and comfortable grips. The Shun logo is embossed on the end-cap, making these knives beautiful out and in of the knife block. Incredibly thin, sharp blades, stylish finishing details and created in the Japanese styling that Shun is famous for, you know your Premier line of knives will work just as hard as you do in your kitchen and be around for generations to come. Hand crafted in Seki City Japan, Shun knives are hand-forged in the tradition of samurai sword making.
