Shun Kanso 3-Piece Build-a-Block Set

Shun Kanso 3-Piece Build-a-Block Set

This is how you get your Shun Kanso collection started, Shun says of the build-a-block set, then add to it at your own pace. It pairs the 8-inch Kanso chef’s knife with the 9-inch Kanso combination honing steel and a 6-slot bamboo block with open slots for future knives.

The chef’s knife handles daily prep on its own, and the honing steel keeps its edge aligned between sharpenings. As the collection grows, a parer, a utility knife or a santoku can fill the remaining slots. It suits a cook who wants one excellent knife now and a plan for the rest.

A Complete Set

The Kanso 6-Piece Block Set includes four knives from the start.

Care and Use

Hand wash with warm water and a gentle dish soap, then dry with a soft towel. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it in a sink of soapy water.
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. If the blade sticks, lift it straight up rather than twisting it.

Warranty and Sharpening

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