Set includes a Shun Classic 3.5" Paring Knife and 8" Hollow Edge Chef's Knife. The Shun Classic Hollow Edge Chef's Knife is designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping fruits, vegetables, and other foods. With its curved belly, this Chef's knife can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. The hollow ground indentations on the side of the blade create small air pockets that reduce friction when cutting, making it easier to glide through the cut. The Shun Classic Paring Knife is ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Its small size gives you complete control over the tip and edge of the blade. Generally, you'll use this knife in your hand rather than against a cutting board, though paring knives can also be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. The razor-sharp blades offer top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel provides incredible edge retention. Blades are handcrafted of durable clad with Damascus stainless steel, ground and bead-blasted creating a flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
