The Shun Kazahana 5-Piece Starter Knife Block Set is the perfect set for any new kitchen or new Shun collection. This block set includes the essentials - a Shun Kazahana 3.5" Paring Knife; Shun Kazahana 6" Utility Knife; Shun Kazahana 8" Chef's Knife and Shun Sora Combination Honing Steel. The dark, slim-line storage block doesn't take up too much room, and has two empty slots for future growth - one for shears, and another for an additional blade of your choice.
The full-tang blades of these Shun Kazahana knives are made of AUS10A, a high-carbon stainless steel with exceptional strength, corrosion resistance and hardness. The vanadium in the blades allows them to be sharpened to an extremely sharp 16 degree angle that will slice through any food with ease.
In Japanese, Kazahana means "snow that flickers like petals dancing in the sky." These beautiful knives have the name of Kazahana, as the finish on the blades mimics this beautiful sight. In addition to having an elegant look, the blades' beautiful satin finishes serves the purpose of helping to release food from the blades.
Each contoured, symmetrical Shun Kazahana knife handle is made of polished black Pakkawood, which provides a secure, comfortable grip.
Engraving: Up to 12 characters can be custom laser engraved on the blade of the Shun Kazahana 8" Chef's Knife.
