Shun Classic 8pc Student / Chef's Knife Roll Set

To become the best at your craft, it is important that you use the best. Just as a carpenter must have the right tool at hand for every aspect of his craft, so must a culinary student. The Shun Student 8-Piece Student Set feature the same knives coveted by professionals in the culinary industry, and are NSF approved to use in commercial kitchens.

Each set features a 3 1/2" Paring knife, 6" Utility Knife, 8" Chef's Knife, 6" Boning Knife, 9" Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9" Bread Knife, Honing Steel and 8-Slot Shun Knife Roll

Shun pronounced "shoon" in Japanese, is known as "at the peak of perfection". Each knife is handmade by skilled specialists and requires at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete one knife. Shun Classic knives feature a VG-Max super steel core encased with 34-layers of Damascus stainless steel (17-layers on each side). The Damascus steel supports and protects the core, which provides toughness, and is stain resistant. Each Shun knife provides a Japanese blade angle of 16°. You will enjoy the ease of cutting the thinnest slices without bruising or tearing the most delicate foods while prepping; this ensures the ingredients to stay intact, retain flavor, and stay fresh. The blade is complimented by a D-shaped traditional Japanese handle, made out of ebony PakkaWood. Shun offers a full assortment, so you will always find the right knife for the task. Made in Japan.

All the essential knives, plus important specialty knives for the aspiring chef. The Shun Classic 8-Piece Student Set includes the key knives you'll need every day in class—the Shun Classic 8-in. Chef's Knife, the 3.5-in. Paring Knife, and the 6-in. Utility Knife. The Shun Boning/Fillet Knife provides the tool you'll need to master those two important skills. The 9-in. Bread Knife ensures your bread slices quickly and cleanly. The Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife helps you make thin, even slices. Also included is the Shun Honing Steel to help maintain your knives' Shun-sharp edge. And finally, to carry it all to and from class, this 8-piece set includes a sturdy 8-Slot Shun Knife Roll.
