Made in Japan.
With the Shun Classic 3-Piece Build-a-Block Set, you can build your own perfect set of Shuns. You get the 6-slot Slimline Bamboo Block, the Classic 8-in. Chef's Knife, and the Classic 9-in. Combination Honing Steel. The Chef's Knife is the one kitchen knife you simply cannot do without and the honing steel helps maintain your razor-sharp edge, so we've included both with this starter set. But there are still four open slots to fill with the Shun Classics that you most want and need for your own personal style of cooking.
This beautiful set provides key kitchen essentials—with room to grow your collection
