CLASSIC 10–PIECE BLOCK SET INCLUDES:

3½" PARING KNIFE 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.

6" UTILITY KNIFE Great for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. The utility knife is sometimes called a sandwich knife because it works well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin–skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.

5½" HOLLOW-EDGE SANTOKU Santoku means "Three Virtues" in Japanese and this knife gets its name for the three strengths it demonstrates in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, thin–boned meats, and fish. Oval indentions on the sides of blade reduce friction, ensuring clean, uniform cuts with minimal sticking.

9" HOLLOW-GROUND SLICING KNIFE This hollow-ground slicing knife’s long, narrow blade allows you to make a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the juices—and thus more of the flavor—trapped in the meat.

9" BREAD KNIFE Whether your bread is delicately tender or wonderfully crusty, the Shun Classic bread knife, with its wide, low–frequency serrations, is up to the task. Gently saw back and forth to cut perfect slices with no unsightly rips or tears.

8" CHEF’S KNIFE This powerful kitchen multi–tasker is perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping large quantities of fruits, vegetables, meats, and more. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan.

6" U2 ULTIMATE UTILITY KNIFE A low–frequency serrated edge makes this knife perfect for slicing delicate thin–skinned fruits and vegetables, as well as chopping, mincing, slicing, and dicing. The broad blade and curved belly enable you to rock the knife on the cutting board. Plus, it makes a great sandwich knife: use the wide blade and rounded tip for spreading condiments and the serrated edge for slicing.

KITCHEN SHEARS A kitchen essential: handy for trimming pie dough, snipping chives, removing fat from raw poultry, and much more.

SHARPENING STEEL Enables you to maintain the razor–sharp edges of your Shun Classic knives.

BAMBOO STORAGE BLOCK Displays your elegant cutlery, keeping knives safe and secure between uses. Features 11 slots, enabling you to easily expand your collection.
