The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut-colored PakkaWood® handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Handcrafted in Japan, the blades are thin and lightweight. This starter set equips you with a chef's knife, honing steel and a slim bamboo block with room for more knives as your collection grows. An excellent introduction to the superior quality of Shun Premier cutlery.

• Special 3-piece set includes an 8" chef's knife, honing steel and 6-slot bamboo storage block.
• Knife blade features a core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad that can take and hold a razor-sharp edge.
• Blade is clad on each side in 34 microthin of Damascus stainless steel for stain and corrosion resistance and easy release.
• Double-bevel flat ground blade is sharpened to a traditional 16-degree angle for precise cutting and slicing.
• The striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps to quickly release food from the blade.
