Shun Cutlery Classic Blonde 5-Piece Starter Block Set DMS0540W- Made in Japan

Shun Cutlery's Classic Blonde 5-Piece Starter Block Set brings Japanese craftsmanship to your kitchen. This complete set includes an 8" chef's knife, 3.5" pairing knife, 6" utility knife, honing steel, and bamboo block—everything you need to start cooking with confidence. The D-shaped blonde-finished Pakkawood handles are ergonomically designed for both left- and right-handed users, offering comfort and control with every cut. Lightweight yet durable, these handles provide the perfect balance for precision work. At the heart of each blade is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX cutting core—wear and corrosion resistant, exceptionally strong, and fine-grained to hold a razor-sharp 16° edge on each side. Surrounding this core are 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (69 total), which enhance stain resistance, support the core, and help food release smoothly from the blade. Beautifully packaged in a refined gift box, this set makes an excellent choice for home cooks and culinary enthusiasts alike. Made in Japan with time-honored techniques and modern innovation.
