Shun Classic Blonde Knives
Designed to offer an aesthetic alternative to the Shun Classic Line, the Shun Classic Blonde collection mirrors the design and construction of the much-loved classic line except for the lightly colored Blonde Pakkawood Handles. The traditional D-shaped handles are durable, comfortable, and decoratively adorned with an ornamental steel end cap. Shun Classic Blonde blades are comprised of a VG-Max core that is clad with 33 layers of SUS410/SUS431 steel (16 layers per side). These blades can be sharpened to an extremely fine edge that requires little maintenance. They stay razor sharp for a very long time. Shun Classic and Classic Blonde knives are an excellent choice for the chef or home cook that doesn’t want to fuss with regular honing or sharpening. They perform well, look great, and are backed by Shun’s Free Mail-In Sharpening Service.

Shun Classic Blonde 2-Piece Starter Set (DMS0220W)
The Shun Classic Blonde 2-Piece Starter Set brings together the two knives every kitchen needs, with light blonde handles for a brighter look. It is the natural first step into the Shun Classic Blonde line. The 8-inch Chef’s Knife is the all-purpose workhorse for slicing, dicing, and chopping fruits, vegetables, and proteins, and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife handles the precision work of peeling, coring, and trimming in hand. Between them, they cover most daily prep. The set arrives in a presentation box suitable for storage or gift-giving.
FeaturesTwo essential shapes: A full-size chef’s knife for board work and a compact paring knife for in-hand detail work, so nearly every everyday task has the right blade.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 blonde PakkaWood handles: The light-toned handles are comfortable in either hand, durable, and do not harbor bacteria.Full composite tang: The composite construction keeps both knives light and balanced.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for both knives.
