Shun Classic Knife Set

This set includes an 8-inch Chef’s Knife, a 6-inch Utility Knife, a 3.5-inch Paring Knife, and an 8-slot wooden knife block for storage.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Damascus steel and the PakkaWood handles, you should hand wash them with mild soap and dry them immediately after use.

VG-MAX is a high-performance, high-carbon steel that allows for a much thinner, sharper edge than standard stainless steel. It provides superior edge retention and hardness, which is why these blades are ground to a precise 16-degree angle.

Because these knives feature a very fine, sharp edge, they should be honed regularly with a honing steel to keep the edge aligned. For sharpening, it is best to use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to preserve the 16-degree angle.

The D-shaped handle is traditionally designed for right-handed users to provide a secure, ergonomic grip. While left-handed users can still use the knives, they may find the handle shape less intuitive compared to a symmetrical handle.

Yes, the set comes with an 8-slot knife block, which provides four additional slots for you to expand your collection with other Shun Classic knives as your needs grow.
