Shun Cutlery Classic 3-Piece Starter Knife Set SDMS300

The Shun Classic 3-Piece Starter Knife Set is the ideal gateway into professional-grade cutlery, built for precision, longevity, and everyday kitchen performance. Crafted in Japan, each knife in this set reflects the expert craftsmanship and refined attention to detail that Shun is known for. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook looking to upgrade your tools, this trio covers the essential tasks of slicing, chopping, and detailed prep.

Each blade is forged from Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel, a high-performance formula that offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. Finished with a mirror-like polish, these blades not only perform at a high level but also bring a sleek, refined look to any kitchen. At 1/16" thick, the blades are thin and razor-sharp, designed to glide through food with minimal resistance.

The set includes:

• The 3.5” Paring Knife, the 6” Utility Knife, and the 8” Chef’s Knife. The Paring Knife is ideal for precision tasks like trimming, peeling, and garnishing. It offers control in tight spaces where larger blades just can’t compete.
• The 6” Utility Knife bridges the gap between the paring and chef’s knife, perfect for cutting sandwiches, slicing fruits, or portioning proteins.
• The workhorse of the set, the 8” Chef’s Knife, is well-balanced and designed for high-volume chopping, slicing, and dicing across a wide range of ingredients.

Each handle is crafted from ebony Pakkawood, a blend of hardwood and resin that’s both water-resistant and durable. The D-shaped handle fits comfortably in the hand, offering excellent control while reducing fatigue during long prep sessions. The seamless transition from blade to handle ensures safe handling and easy cleaning.

Lightweight, balanced, and incredibly sharp, this set is an excellent foundation for building a serious culinary toolkit. Whether you’re prepping a quick weekday dinner or crafting a multi-course meal, the Shun Classic 3-Piece Set gives you the confidence and precision to do it right. Order it today from SMKW!
