Shun Classic Blonde 5 Pc. Block Set
Three essential knives you need in your kitchen – 8” chef's, 6" utility, and 3. 5" paring – plus a honing steel in one sleek, convenient block. The beautifully modern, D-shaped, blonde PakkaWood handle encases the full composite tang blade for balance, reducing unwanted rotation and improving grip for right and left-handed chefs alike. Add fine Japanese cutlery to your kitchen in three convenient sizes made to handle virtually any food prep task. These knives combine traditional Western styles with thin, hard, and razor-sharp Japanese steel. Handcrafted in Japan, these kitchen knives are ground and honed to a razor sharp 16-degree edge out of the box. They’re balanced immediately forward of the bolster like most Shun knives for superior handling. Santoku, nakiri, boning, slicing, or steak – Shun blades glide through food when used in a back-and-forth or rocking motion that applies some force parallel to what's being cut, letting the edge do the work.

It's too early to tell how these knives hold up but so far I am very pleased. They are absolutely beautiful and extremely sharp. Adventuron did a great job getting these out to me quickly as well.

I love the blonde wood color. It’s modern and timeless. The knives are excellent quality and don’t need to be sharpened as often as our previous knives. We are very happy with them!

Best knives, worth the money. Just make sure you hand wash only and get them sharpened professionally when you notice it getting dull.

Blade started to have chips appear after 6 weeks of very light usage and handwashing. Not a great product for the price if so.
I bought these 8 months and they look brand new! I use them almost everyday. Cuts like butter, i would recommend buying a set whichever fits more your needs.
I bought this knives set because it was cheaper than the 3-knives only set (this set was $295.96 marked down from $593.00 and the 3 knives set was $335.96$ marked down from $463.00). When I receives the set, the price tag on the box was 369.95, which suggests the deal was 20% off instead of 50% which is misleading.Also, be prepared to be bombarded with publicity (I received 2 emails a day from Sur La Table after my purchase on top of the paper publicity included in the package. But the most troubling thing was that the person who was with me when I walked into the physical store earlier on that day started to receive promotional emails without providing his/her email to the store and without connecting to their network.However, these knives are great, I have not ...

I bought this set and have been using them for about a month and I’m really happy with this addition to my kitchen. They feel great in hand and cut well. I also love the look of them.
They look great and function even better! This Shun set is outstanding! Although it will not replace my Wusthof, it is a wonderful addition.
Incredible. Beautifully crafted, ergonomic, easy to handle, and insanely sharp.
