Shun Classic 8" Chef’s Knife and 3½" Paring Knife Set
- $199.95
- Value: $326.00
The perfect gift, this set includes two of our most popular knives: the 8" Shun Classic chef’s knife and the 3½" Shun Classic paring knife. These are two high-quality knives that you’ll go to often, and they make a great addition to any cook’s cutlery collection. Our Shun Classic knife set comes in a handsome Shun gift box.
Shun Classic’s tasteful and contemporary design features beautiful 33-layer, Damascus-clad blades and ergonomic D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Behind each knife’s beauty is function: a razor-sharp blade offering precision performance.
Shun’s VG10 steel core—known for its incredible edge retention—is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then bead-blasted, revealing the woodgrain pattern of the steel, which allows the blade to slide easily through food. The result is knives that are sharp, durable and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold.
THE CHEF’S KNIFE
The chef’s knife is the kitchen workhorse. Perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping large quantities of fruits, vegetables, meats and more, its wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and makes it easy to transfer cut food from board to pan. Thanks to a curved belly this chef’s knife can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Plus, a thinner blade makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style chef’s knives.
THE PARING KNIFE
The versatile paring knife is ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating and other detail work. Generally, you’ll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves.
NSF-certified knives meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended. Limited lifetime warranty. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan.

VG10 “SUPER STEEL” CORE
The higher density of VG10 steel allows it to be tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61 and still have the flexibility and strength to take and keep a perfect edge. VG10’s natural tendency is to remain straight and true. When blade is used, the edge automatically straightens out and stays sharp longer.
METICULOUSLY CRAFTED
Each Shun Classic knife is constructed using the kasumi method, a traditional Japanese process used to create samurai swords. Sixteen layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel are pounded to 3/1000ths of an inch, then clad on each side of the VG10 core. This 32-layer forged construction gives the blade strength, stain resistance, incredible cutting performance and an elegant Damascus pattern unique to each knife.
RAZOR-SHARP BLADE
With a cutting edge ground to a 16° angle on each side, this is one of the sharpest knives you’ll ever find. Plus, the exotic Japanese steels used in the cutting core ensure the blade holds its ultra-sharp edge without the need for excessive re-sharpening.
USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Comfortable D-shaped handle and perfectly balanced blade offer precise control and reduce fatigue during long, repetitive cutting tasks. Handle is made of moisture-resistant PakkaWood—a fused blend of hardwood veneers and phenolic resin.
