Shun Classic Blonde 7-Piece Block Set (DMS0725W)

The Shun Classic Blonde 7-Piece Block Set brings the performance of Shun Classic to a lighter, brighter look, with five knives that cover nearly every kitchen task. The 8-inch Chef’s Knife handles everyday slicing, dicing, and chopping; the 6-inch Utility Knife covers the in-between tasks; and the 3.5-inch Paring Knife takes care of peeling, coring, and trimming. The 6.5-inch Nakiri, with its straight edge and squared tip, makes clean push cuts through vegetables of every size, and the 9-inch Bread Knife slices crusty loaves and soft breads cleanly. A combination honing steel keeps the plain edges aligned between sharpenings. Everything stores in a birch kickstand block that keeps the knives safe and within reach, with room to expand your Shun Classic Blonde collection.

Features

• Five knives: Paring, utility, chef’s, nakiri, and bread knives cover daily prep, vegetable work, and every kind of loaf.
• Dedicated vegetable knife: The nakiri’s flat edge meets the board along its full length for clean, complete cuts.
• Combination honing steel: Regular honing keeps each plain edge aligned and extends the time between sharpenings.
• Birch kickstand block: The hardwood block holds the set securely and leaves room to grow the collection.
• 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.
• 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.
• Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for every knife in the set.

Tasks It Handles Well

• Dicing, mincing, and slicing with the chef’s knife
• Push-cutting cabbage, carrots, and greens with the nakiri
• Trimming and peeling with the utility and paring knives
• Slicing crusty loaves and soft sandwich bread

Choosing a Shun Classic Blonde Set

For a smaller footprint, the Shun Classic Blonde 5-Piece Starter Block Set holds the chef’s, utility, and paring knives with a honing steel in a slimline bamboo block. To keep knives in a drawer instead, the Shun Classic Blonde 5-Piece In-Drawer Set stores four knives in a beechwood tray.
