Shun Premier 7-Piece Block Set

A VG-MAX steel Damascus knife block set is designed to cover the main cutting tasks in a home kitchen, from fine paring and everyday utility work to chopping with a chef's knife and slicing crusty bread. It is a strong choice if you want matching blades and a tidy countertop storage solution.

The knives in this VG-MAX steel Damascus knife block set feature a proprietary VG-MAX super steel core clad on both sides with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel. This layered construction supports an ultra-thin cutting edge and creates the signature Damascus pattern on the blade.

Tsuchime is a traditional hand-hammered finish that creates a textured surface on the blade. Shun notes the hammered texture helps reduce drag while cutting, which can also help keep food from sticking to the blade.

You get a 3 1/2-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 9-inch bread knife and 8-inch chef's knife, plus a honing steel, kitchen shears and a Shun knife block. It is a practical mix for everyday prep and easy storage right where you work.

Shun recommends hand-washing the knives, then drying them promptly. Store them in the included block to help protect the edges, and use the honing steel to help maintain a sharp cutting feel between sharpenings.

Yes. Shun offers free sharpening on all Shun cutlery for as long as you own it, which makes it easier to keep your knives performing well over time.
