Shun Classic 3pc Build-a-Block Knife Set (DMS2200K)

Not every block set comes with the exact knives you want or need. With the Shun Classic 3pc Build-a-Block Set, you can build up your own ideal set of Shuns. Coming with essential items no kitchen should ever be without, you're already set up to start adding knives specific to your cutting needs. The Classic 3pc Build-a-Block Set comes with a 6-slot bamboo block, a combination honing steel, and a Shun Classic 8-Inch Chef Knife—the one knife we recommend every knife collection starts with. From there, you have the room to add 3 more knives of almost any style, plus a pair of kitchen shears to your block. The Shun Classic 8-Inch Chef Knife is a beautifully crafted knife, in addition to it being an extremely functional one. Thirty-four layers of stainless steel line each side of the blade, creating the patterned Damascus and protecting the VG-MAX cutting core. Sharpened to an acute 16° angle for incredibly precise cuts, this knife is the ultimate slicer. Keep your new blade(s) in fine form with the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel , which re-aligns your edge after you've used it, and keeps your knives sharp for longer. The durable, lightweight block is made of renewable bamboo, and is a slimline design that takes up less space on your counter. The Shun Classic 3pc Build-a-Block Set makes a perfect gift to anyone starting a new home or knife collection, and ensures that your gift keeps on giving as their collection grows.
