SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Set is a top-tier kitchen essential, meticulously crafted to meet the demands of both professional chefs and passionate home cooks. This set is built around the Shun Premier 8" Chef's Knife, a tool you'll reach for every time you step into the kitchen. The chef's knife is your go-to blade for slicing, dicing, and chopping, delivering precise cuts with its ultra-sharp edge. Alongside the chef's knife, you'll find the versatile 6.5" utility knife and the precise 4" paring knife, ensuring you have the right blade for every task.
Each blade in this set is forged from Shun's proprietary VG Max steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and strength. The blades are clad with 69 layers of Damascus steel, creating a stunning visual effect and enhancing the blade's durability. The hammer-finished TSUCHIME surface not only adds a unique, artisanal touch but also reduces drag when cutting, preventing food from sticking to the blade. This thoughtful design allows for smoother, more efficient cuts every time.
The handles are crafted from walnut-finished contoured Pakkawood, a durable and moisture-resistant material that offers a comfortable, secure grip. The warm, natural wood grain of the Pakkawood complements the blade's elegance, while the contoured shape ensures a balanced feel in hand. Whether you're mincing herbs, slicing vegetables, or peeling fruit, these knives provide exceptional control and comfort, making every cut feel effortless.
