Product Description
The beginner gourmet or minimalist chef will find this 3-pc. collection is an ideal start for experiencing the precision and versatility of Shun knives. It contains the essentials: 3.5-inch Paring, 6-inch Utility and 8-inch Chef's knife, all safely stored in a beautiful bamboo gift box.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable white birch woo

Fantastic Knives, But shop locally February 11, 2008

I've been doing research for months, trying to decide which knives I needed, and which brand to get. It finally came down to this set. I placed the order, but when the estimated delivery date was 4-6 weeks away, I started looking elsewhere. Luckily I found a set, for the same price as here, and I didn't have to wait a month. The knives themselves are very comfortable, and sharp as anything I have used. I highly recommend!
Wonderful. August 23, 2007

Had a hard time deciding to spend so much money. Glad I did. Have purchased several more. Don't expect to ever use anything else. Buy them you'll be glad you did.

I purchased a set of these for my brother and sister-in-law last year for their wedding and almost kept them for myself. They raved about the quality of the set so I finally purchased my own and can say without a doubt that these are the finest made knives that I have ever owned. One word of warning, these are sharp! I was a little too eager when I was unpacking the knives and cut my hand wide open. Three stitches later, I was prepping my dinner. Great cuts, well balanced, and beautiful to look at.

The best knives I've ever owned, bar none. They come with a razor edge and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on the Kershaw-Shun steel (well worth purchasing to accompany this set). The damascus pattern and perfectly crafted profile slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. I also got a 9" scalloped slicing knife and sharpening steel to round out the set. The weight and balance are perfect. They are designed for right-handed chefs with a d-shaped handle so if you are a leftie they may not be as comfortable or easy to use.
