Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block Set (DMS0530)
The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block Set supplies the cutlery basics in one compact package. It includes three of the most essential Shun Classic knives: the 8-inch Chef’s Knife for slicing, dicing, and chopping; the 6-inch Utility Knife for the in-between tasks; and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife for peeling, coring, and trimming. A combination honing steel keeps the edges aligned and extends the time between sharpenings, and a 6-slot slimline bamboo block stores everything in less counter space than a traditional block. Even with all five pieces in place, the block leaves room for one more knife and a pair of kitchen shears.
FeaturesThree essential knives: A chef’s knife, a utility knife, and a paring knife cover board work, mid-sized trimming, and in-hand detail.Combination honing steel: Regular honing maintains the edge and prolongs the time between sharpenings.Slimline bamboo block: The narrow profile saves counter space, and bamboo offers easy-care performance.Room to grow: Open slots accommodate one more knife and kitchen shears.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel is strong, fine-grained, and resistant to wear and corrosion, and it holds a very keen edge through extended prep.Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports each core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade.D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles: The handles are comfortable in either hand, durable enough for daily use, and do not harbor bacteria.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for every knife in the set.
