The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.

The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block set includes three of the most essential Shun knives, plus the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel and a beautiful 6-slot Slimline Block. You'll get the 8-in. Chef's Knife, the 3.5-in. Paring Knife, and the 6-in. With these three elegant Shun Classic knives in your block, you'll be able to handle almost any kitchen tasks. Regular honing with the included Shun Honing Steel helps maintain your edge and prolongs the time between sharpenings. The bamboo block will look beautiful on your counter and you'll also appreciate its easy-care performance. Since bamboo absorbs very little moisture, it doesnt shrink or swell like other hardwoods, making it ideal for kitchen accessories.

Even with all this, you'll have room for an additional Shun knife and a pair of Kitchen or Herb Shears in your Shun Bamboo Block. The Shun Classic Paring Knife is a must-have for every kitchen. In a way, you can think of it as the mini version of the chef's knife because, like the chef's knife, the paring knife is quite versatile.

The paring knife gets its name from its main functionremoving or paring away things like peels or pits from fruits and vegetables. Its ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade.

Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger. In size, the Shun Classic 6-in. Utility Knife is between a chefs knife and a paring knife, but its blade is narrower and straighter. It's perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, tooalmost like a large paring knife.

Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chefs knife. Its very slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts. Its nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it up in short order. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwichfrom thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses. If there is one knife that you simply cant be without, its this one. Chef's Knife is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The eight-inch length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan.

With its curved belly, the Chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Shun Classic's thinner blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef's knives. With each use of your knife, the razor-sharp edge naturally bends over just a tiny bit. The edge is still sharp, but the sharpest part isnt making contact with the food. The answer is honing with the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel.

It gently realigns the edge of the blade, prolonging the knife's sharpness. The Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel has two surfaces: a smooth one for day-to-day honing, and a micro-ribbed one for weekly honing.

Perfect for kitchens with limited counter space, the Shun slimline bamboo block accommodates up to six pieces of Shun kitchen cutlery. There are slots for two larger knives and two for medium or small knives. There's even a slot for the honing steel needed for maintaining your edge as well as one to accommodate kitchen shears.

The beautiful bamboo block is durable and easy care. A renewable resource, bamboo absorbs very little moisture, so it doesnt shrink or swell like other hardwoods, making it ideal for kitchen accessories. Hand-sharpened 16° single-bevel blade with serrations. Steel: Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, 34 layers each side (68 total) stainless Damascus cladding. Built-in angle guide makes precision honing easy.

Two honing surfaces: smooth for everyday honing; micro-ribbed for weekly care. Accommodates up to 6 pieces of kitchen cutlery, large and small. Includes slots for honing steel and kitchen shears.
