Specially crafted in Japan, the Shun Classic 3-Piece Starter Knife Set is widely revered by professional chefs for its precision performance and cutting-edge design. The versatile kitchen knife set is produced by the Kasumi Method, the traditional Japanese knife making style that clads protective layers of stainless-steel over a core of extremely hard carbon steel. The Shun Classic 3-piece starter knife set features a Damascus moire pattern steel blade with a precision edge that makes cleaner slices and speeds food prep. For optimum comfort, the unique "D" shape PakkaWood handle design rests smoothly in the curve of your fingers as they curl around the handle. The asymmetrical bolster is ground out more on the right side to provide proper finger placement and a comfortable, secure grip. Each knife balances perfectly, with the pivot point just ahead of where the handle sweeps out of the blade.
Perfect for beginning cooks, graduates and vacation homes, the Shun Classic 3-piece starter knife set includes 4" paring knife, 6" utility knife and 7" santoku. The 4" paring knife is designed for precision peeling, slicing and coring of apples, radishes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and more. With its broad, curved blade and rounded tip the 6" utility knife is ideal for rocking the knife on a cutting board while slicing larger and thin-skinned fruits and vegetables. The multipurpose cutlery for also thinly slicing meats for sandwiches, the 6" utility knife is a must-have for daily use. The hollow-ground 7" santoku makes quick work of preparing ultra-thin slices of bok choy and chicken breasts to salmon filets and zucchini. The santoku's cleaver-like shape lets you scoop chopped ingredients into cooking pan or serving bowl and the hollow-ground edge is stick-resistant for smooth slicing and chopping every time.
Produced in Japan as a type of cutlery art form, Shun Kershaw Classic knives blend tasteful, contemporary designs with razor-sharp, ultra-durable blade performance and incredible edge retention.
