Shun Classic Blonde 7 pc Block Set
The Shun Classic Blonde 7 pc Block Set has the performance you want, and a lighter, brighter look for your counter. This expanded core set of 5 essential knives, plus combination steel and storage block, is all a good cook really needs. The collection includes the Shun Classic 8" Chef's Knife, the 3.5" Paring Knife, 6" Utility Knife, 6.5" Nakiri, 9" Serrated Bread Knife, 9" Combination Honing Steel, and the 8-Slot Birch Kickstand Block.

The Classic Line fuses the uncompromising performance and hardness of premium VG-10 carbon steel with the resilience and practical ease of high-carbon stainless steel. The result, simply put, is a masterpiece. These Damascus-type blades hold an extremely sharp, professional edge. The Classic Blonde Series features light birch-finish PakkaWood handles in the traditional Japanese "D-shape" to ensure all-day comfort. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the fine edge and long-term preservation of the handle. And like all Shun Classic blades, the Classic Blonde 7 pc Block Set includes free lifetime sharpening and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
