Shun's Premier Blonde collection is distinguished by hammered blades and sculpted PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Crafted in Japan from VG-MAX "super steel," the blades are thin and lightweight, yet remarkably durable and razor sharp. Handles are shaped for exceptional comfort and balance and finished with stainless-steel end caps. The three-piece set includes everyday essentials for paring, mincing, dicing and chopping.

• Set includes 4" paring knife, 6" utility knife, 8" chef's knife.
• Each blade features core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel.
• Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade.
• Blonde-finished PakkaWood handles have two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel end caps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
• Handcrafted in Japan.
