Shun Classic 2-Piece Carving Set (DMS0230)

The Shun Classic 2-Piece Carving Set is for cooks who carve at the table, whether that means a holiday turkey, a prime rib, or a Sunday ham. It pairs the 9-inch Hollow Ground Slicing Knife with a matching 6.5-inch Carving Fork in a gift box. The fork holds the roast steady while the long, narrow blade slices through in a single stroke, which produces even slices and keeps more of the juices, and more of the flavor, inside the meat. Hollow-ground indentations along the blade help each slice release cleanly. The set completes any Shun Classic collection and makes a lasting gift.


Features

  • Long, narrow slicing blade: Nine inches of edge carves wide roasts in one stroke, so slices stay intact instead of tearing.
  • Hollow-ground indentations: The indentations reduce friction and help slices fall away from the blade.
  • Matching carving fork: The fork steadies the roast as you slice, and its stainless steel tines are easy to care for.
  • VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel is strong, fine-grained, and resistant to wear and corrosion, and it holds a very keen edge.
  • Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade.
  • D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles: Both handles give a secure grip in either hand and do not harbor bacteria.
  • Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.
  • Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for the slicing knife whenever its edge needs restoring.
