Shun Classic Blonde Knives

The Shun Classic Blonde 3-Piece Starter Set includes the three key knives no kitchen should be without, with light blonde handles for a brighter look. It starts with the 8-inch Chef’s Knife, the do-it-all knife you will use any time you cook. The 3.5-inch Paring Knife handles the small peeling, coring, and trimming tasks, and the 6-inch Utility Knife covers the in-between work that is too large for a paring knife and too fine for a chef’s knife, such as trimming vegetables, sectioning fruit, and slicing sausages and cheeses. Much of the work in a kitchen can be completed with these three knives alone. The set arrives in a presentation box suitable for storage or gift-giving, and it is an excellent foundation for a Shun Classic Blonde collection.
