Shun Classic 8-Piece Student Knife Set

Shun built this portable Classic set around the essential and specialty knives every aspiring chef needs. It packs six Classic knives and a combination honing steel into an 8-slot knife roll, so a culinary student has a complete kit for class from the first day.

The 8-inch chef’s knife handles board work, and three longer specialists cover fabrication, slicing and bread. A parer and a utility knife take care of detail work. Every knife shares the Classic line’s Damascus blade and D-shaped ebony handle, and the honing steel keeps the edges aligned between sharpenings. It is a strong investment for a student who plans to cook professionally.

    Care and Use

    • Hand wash with warm water and a gentle dish soap, towel dry, and let the knife air dry briefly before storing. Do not use the dishwasher.
    • Cut on a medium-soft wood board such as hinoki, and avoid glass, stone and ceramic surfaces.
    • Do not cut bones, joints or frozen food, and lift a stuck blade straight up rather than twisting it.

    Warranty and Sharpening

    The knives are covered by Shun’s limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Shun sharpens plain-edged knives free for as long as you own them and hones serrated knives; the owner pays shipping and processing. Wood blocks carry Shun’s 90-day warranty against original manufacturing defects.
