To celebrate the achievement of 10 million knives produced worldwide, the Shun Classic 7 Piece Block Set comes with a free commemorative Shun Hinoki-Cypress cutting board.

The Shun Classic 7 Piece Block Set will raise your chopping, slicing, dicing and cutting tasks to a culinary art form. Each Shun Classic knife has a core of proprietary VG-MAX steel for a solid yet precise cutting edge which is clad each side with 34 layers of Damascus Steel (69 layers total including the core) for increased durability. D-shaped (best suited for right handers) PakkaWood handles are made from compressed layers of resin impregnated hardwood to provide a moisture resistant, strong, and durable connection with the blade and your hand. As with natural wood, no two pieces of Pakkawood are exactly alike.

Use & Care:

• Shun knives should be used in a smooth, slicing motion, not in a chopping, piercing or stabbing motion.
• Do not use Shun knives on hard materials like bones, joints, frozen foods, or hard vegetables like pumpkin.
• Use a good cutting board made of wood, wood composite, or polyethylene to retain a sharp edge for longer.
• Hand-wash knives with gentle dish soap and do not leave them submerged in soapy water.
• Store knives in a block, case, or magnetic holder to protect the blade and ensure safety.
• Regular honing with a Shun Honing Steel is necessary to prolong the life of the blade, and sharpening should only be done when necessary using a Shun or Seki Magoroku Whetstone or by a professional sharpener.
