This stunning knife set will serve you well for countless meals to come. Lightweight yet durable, the handcrafted knives easily perform nearly any cutting task, with hammered tsuchime finishes that allow sliced foods to smoothly fall away. The honing steel's built-in angle guide takes the guesswork out of sharpening, and two honing surfaces maintain prized knives beautifully. Walnut-hued PakkaWood handles contrast beautifully with the steel tools and provide a comfortable grip. An endlessly useful pair of herb shears rounds out the collection. The bamboo block holds all six tools, with five slots left over for additional knives. Set includes 8-inch chef's knife, 4-inch paring knife, 6.5-inch utility knife, 5.5-inch santoku knife, 9-inch bread knife, 9.5-inch slicing knife, combination honing steel and 11-slot bamboo block.

Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp blades are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
