CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block Set is a premium cutlery kit built for serious kitchen performance. Designed for cooks who demand precision, craftsmanship, and lasting quality, this set brings together three of the most essential knives in the Shun lineup, along with a dual-surface honing steel and a compact bamboo storage block. Whether you're outfitting a new kitchen or upgrading your tools, this set lays the foundation for years of reliable prep work.
Each knife features Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX steel, a high-end stainless alloy that delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. The blades are finished with Shun’s signature Damascus cladding, offering both beauty and added strength. Handles are made from contoured ebony Pakkawood, providing a natural feel in the hand with resistance to moisture and bacteria—perfect for long hours at the cutting board.
The 9-inch honing steel keeps your blades aligned and razor-sharp with both smooth and micro-ribbed surfaces to accommodate varying maintenance needs. It’s an essential tool for preserving your edge between sharpenings. The 6-slot Slimline bamboo block offers space-saving storage with room to grow your collection over time.
This is not a mass-market knife set—it’s a carefully crafted selection that reflects Shun’s Japanese heritage and dedication to quality. Made in Japan, the knives carry the precision and balance that professional chefs and serious home cooks alike have come to trust. The honing steel and block, made in China, complement the set with utility and style.
