Shun Classic 7-Piece Essential Block Set (DM2003B)

The Shun Classic 7-Piece Essential Block Set gives you all the must-have pieces of kitchen cutlery in one bamboo block. It includes the Shun Classic 3.5-inch Paring Knife, 6-inch Utility Knife, and 8-inch Chef’s Knife, plus the 9-inch Bread Knife with its wide serrations for crusty loaves. Herb shears snip herbs and prove useful for many other kitchen tasks, and a 9-inch combination honing steel keeps every edge aligned between sharpenings. The laminated bamboo block offers easy-care performance and has extra open slots, so the collection can keep growing.

Features

• Four essential knives: Paring, utility, chef’s, and bread knives cover daily prep and every kind of loaf.
• Herb shears: The shears snip fresh herbs and handle packaging, twine, and other everyday cutting.
• Combination honing steel: Regular honing keeps the plain edges aligned and extends the time between sharpenings.
• Laminated bamboo block: The block offers easy-care performance and leaves open slots for future Classic knives.
• 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.
