Make sure every kitchen task is covered with the Shun Kazahana 5-Piece Starter Set. This 6-slot slimline block comes with the Shun Kazahana 3.5-inch Paring Knife, 6-inch Utility Knife, 8-inch Chef's Knife, and Shun Combination Honing Steel. The paring knife is an essential tool to handle smaller cutting tasks, such as peeling, coring, and pitting. The chef's knife is an all-purpose knife that can mince herbs, dice vegetables, and slice through thick rinds and large cuts of meat. The utility knife has a narrow, straight blade and sharp tip to handle detail work, along with slicing and chopping. The honing steel realigns knife blades between sharpenings. The block protects knife blades while safely storing cutlery, and the extra slots allow for expansion of your collection. The high performance blade is made from AUS10A Japanese steel. This high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel is hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp 16-degree cutting angle. The addition of vanadium makes steel harder, tougher, and more easily sharpened to a finer edge. Vanadium also increases wear resistance, so the blade stays sharper longer. The satin finish blade assists in food release. The polished black PakkaWood handle offers a secure comfortable grip. Hand wash and dry immediately after use.
