Shun Classic 6-Piece Knife Set with Bamboo Block Overviews

This ultra-efficient six-piece set includes the three blades a typical home chef uses most: an eight-inch chef’s knife for all-around kitchen work like mincing garlic and chopping vegetables, a parer for small-scale tasks like trimming and peeling, and a utility knife for slicing meats, sandwiches, and other sundries. Also included are shears for snipping herbs or occasion packages, a bamboo block to store and protect knives, and a sharpening steel. Attractively packaged in a extra gift box, this set makes an unforgettable gift for newlyweds, budding chefs, or anything who appreciates kitchen tools as beautiful as they are functional and long-lasting.
Shun knives are made from Vg-10 stainless steel, specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The Vg-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a grand total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the Vg-10, they generate an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, these knives are naturally striking to look at--much like old Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the wee patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade. Like many Asian-style knives, these highlight handles that are especially powerful to smaller users. In unlikeness to the traditional round profile, however, Shun’s are D-shaped to forestall the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handles are made from ebony-colored Pakkawood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the vigor and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic ease and maximum safety, while a stainless steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as they are lovely, these knives are officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although they’re so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives are covered by a wee lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
