Shun 3-pc. Shun Classic Chef's Knife Set

As a home chef, it can be a challenge deciding which cutlery will fit best into your budget and still meet your needs. This Shun Classic set by Kershaw provides the essentials - the three most often used knives by professionals. It includes a chef's, utility and paring knife, all conveniently stored in this gift box. The blades are made of VG-10 super steel, a special blend of metals that remains rust and stain-free. The handles are made of Pakka Wood known for its beauty and durability, and features a unique "D" shape, a contour that makes for a most comfortable grip. About Shun Classic Characterized by distinctive Damascus look pattern created by cladding 32 layers of SUS410 high carbon stainless steel over a central core of VG-10 steel- a Japanese super steel developed exclusively as a cutting steel, not used in other applications where stainless steel would be found (such as the base material for utensils or car parts etc.) Damascus look is rust-free, easy to maintain and helps to make the blade stick resistant due to the microscopic air pockets created by cladding the 33 layers of metal together. VG-10 “super steel” is composed of carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. Its Rockwell hardness rating of 61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer. D shaped Pakka Wood handle provides stability and ergonomic comfort while preventing the knife’s handle from twisting in the hand during use. NSF certified for restaurant use- very rare for a premium knife line to earn an NSF certification (please verify this yourself with other top quality knife lines) Made in Japan by Kai, a company with a 700 year tradition as premier blade smiths. Available standard in right handed styles or by special order in left handed versions 8 styles featuring a 10 degree angled blade (known as Alton’s Angles as Chef Alton Brown of the Food Network helped design them) also part of the Shun Classic line. 10 degree handle
