Shun Premier 2pc Utility + Chef's Knife Set

The Shun Premier 2-piece Knife Set includes the two most popular knives in the kitchen. It starts with the Shun Premier 20cm Chef's Knife, the do-it-all knife that you'll use any time you cook. It makes a perfect combination when coupled with the Shun Premier 16.5cm Utility Knife which is perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. The two knives come in an elegant box suitable for storage or gift-giving.

The Shun Premier 2-piece Utility and Chef's Knife Set is part of the beautiful Shun Premier line, which calls to mind the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX steel to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade, where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed - similar to the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty.
