Shun Premier 3-Piece Starter Knife Set
Recalling the hand-forged artistry of ancient Japanese knives, each handcrafted piece in Shun's masterfully designed Premier line takes at least 100 steps to complete — but is updated for the modern world using the industry's finest materials. Each blade has a core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" that's layered with Damascus cladding for added support, precision and stain-resistance. Contoured, comfortable walnut-finished PakkaWood handles beautifully complement the blades. This starter set for creative home chefs includes three kitchen cutlery essentials.
- Set includes 4" Paring Knife, 6.5" Utility Knife and 8" Chef's Knife
- Hand-hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag when cutting for easy food release

Happy I upgraded
This is my first set of Shun knives, as I have always been accustomed to German knives like Wusthof and Henckel. I'm glad I bit the bullet and upgraded. I have owned this set for 5 years now and couldn't be happier. These are definitely lighter than other knives and should not be used the same as those heavier knives. They are not designed for chopping and cutting through bones; rather, they are made to be used with finesse and slicing. You cannot use these with the expectation that they are the same as heavy, thick, German knives; otherwise, you end up with broken tips. These are lightweight and feel great in the hand and their sharpness is unparalleled. They are as functional as they are beautiful. As I mentioned, I've owned mine four 5 years now and use them daily. I hone them about once a week to keep the edge and actually sharpen them with a whetstone about every 6 months to a year, depending on use. I have since purchased other Shun knives and have been pleased with them all. I highly recommend them. Make sure you follow the instructions on how to use and care for them and you will be pleased with them for years.

Beautiful Tools
They are packaged nicely in a black box and when you open it you see a set of three gorgeous knives. They have a cool pattern in the metal and the handles are light and help balance the knives in your hand. They are also very sharp. Can't wait to give this gift.

Functionality and beauty hand in hand
I bought this set for a friend of mind and he said those exact words 'those by a long shot are the best knives I ever used and from a guy who worked in a gastronomical restaurant that says a lot. What ever way you grip them they feel comfortable, the factory edge last for what seems for ever, and the beauty of craftsmanship on those blades is just amazing. If you want one of these don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.
