You know your way around a kitchen, whether as an avid home cook or in the professional world. So it's time to get the block set that matches your needs: the Shun Classic 9-Piece Chef's Choice Block Set. Of course you get the essential kitchen knives every cook needs, but the knives in this set go beyond just the basics. For example, this set includes both an 8-in. Chef's Knife and our 5.5-in. Santoku for added cutting versatility. The Chef's Choice Block Set also includes our 6-in. Utility Knife, Shun Classic Paring Knife and the 8.25-in. Offset Bread Knife. The offset handle makes it easy to slice through bread—without hitting knuckles on the cutting board. The 9-in. Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife features hollow-ground indentations for extra-easy, extra-perfect slicing. The Shun Classic Boning/Fillet Knife makes it easy to work with meats, poultry, and fish. To round out this beautiful set, Shun includes our Combination Honing Steel to help maintain your Shun-sharp edges, and our large 22-Slot Bamboo Block...so you collection can continue to expand.

The Shun Classic Chef's Choice Block Set is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the 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 behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
