Shun DMS1020 Classic 10 Piece Chef's Block Set

The perfect block set for the avid cook

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 expert needs: the Shun Classic 10-Piece Chef's Block Set. Of course you get the essential kitchen knives every cook needs, but the knives in this deluxe set go beyond just the basics. For example, this set includes an 8-in. Chef's Knife. But instead of our standard model, this is the 8-in. Hollow-Ground Chef's Knife. The hollow-ground indentations along the blade create small air pockets so food releases more easily. There's also our 6-in. Chef's Knife for added cutting versatility. The Chef's Block Set also includes two utility knives, one is our 6-in. Serrated Utility, the other is our unique Ultimate Utility Knife. The Ultimate Utility has a wide blade and a rounded tip for spreading, plus a low-frequency serrated edge that's perfect for working with foods that have tough exteriors and soft interiors—like tomatoes or crusty bread. You also get the Shun Classic Paring Knife and the 9-in. Bread Knife. The Slicing Knife is also 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 elegant Shun Kitchen Shears, the Shun Honing Steel to help maintain your Shun-sharp edges, and our large 22-Slot Bamboo Block...so you collection can continue to expand.
