An expression of Japanese craftsmanship for the modern kitchen.
The Kai Shun Classic 7 Piece Knife Block Set is rooted in ancient samurai swordmaking traditions. Hand-finished for precision and beauty, the Shun Classic range is ideal for cooks beginning their journey into Japanese knives. At the same time, it offers the performance demanded by experienced home cooks and professionals alike.
Each Shun Classic knife is handcrafted in Japan using a process of more than 100 steps. The blades feature a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core for exceptional edge retention.

Use & Care:
Using Your Shun Knife
- Use a smooth slicing or push cutting motion rather than forceful chopping
- Avoid twisting, prying or bending the blade sideways
- Do not cut bones, joints, frozen foods or very hard items
- Allow the fine edge to do the work for the best performance
Cutting Surfaces
- Use wooden boards, wood composites or medium-firm synthetic boards
- Avoid glass, marble, granite, stone or ceramic surfaces
- Hard surfaces will dull or damage the blade edge quickly
Cleaning & Drying
- Hand wash only using warm water and mild dish soap
- Avoid citrus-based soaps, bleach or abrasive cleaners
- Rinse thoroughly after washing
- Dry immediately with a soft towel
- Do not soak or leave the knife in standing water
- Never place in the dishwasher
Storage
- Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, drawer tray or blade guard
- Ensure the blade is fully dry before storage
- Do not store loose items in a drawer without protection
Honing & Sharpening
- Hone regularly to realign the edge and maintain sharpness
- Use a suitable honing steel or guided system
- When dull, sharpen with whetstones or a professional service
- Maintain the original 16° double bevel edge for best results
Proper care will preserve the sharpness, beauty and performance of your Shun Classic knife for many years of confident cooking.
