Included in the set is a 9cm Paring knife that sits well in the hand, with a small pointed blade suited for precise tasks such as trimming and peeling fruit and vegetables. A Chef’s 20cm knife is designed in the traditional European shape and arguably the most versatile of all knives in the kitchen. A traditional Japanese all-purpose Santoku 18cm, suitable for slicing, dicing, and chopping. A pair of soft-handled Kitchen Scissors with blades that easily separate for quick wash-up – perfect for a variety of tasks ranging from cutting herbs to butterflying a chicken.
Shun 10 Million Anniversary commemorative chopping board is made of Hinoki Cypress, a Japanese wood that is highly regarded for its durability, natural antimicrobial properties, and gentle treatment of knives. The wood’s subtle aroma adds a pleasant touch to the kitchen, and its fine-grained surface prevents food from slipping during preparation. The use of a Hinoki Cypress cutting board is a traditional and essential element of Japanese culinary culture, representing a long history of craftsmanship and reverence for natural materials.
Born of the ancient samurai swordmaking tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is the perfect line for those making their first foray into the Japanese knife market.

Use & Care:
Using Your Shun Knife
- Use a smooth slicing or push cutting motion rather than forceful chopping

- Allow the fine edge to do the work for the best performance
Cutting Surfaces
- Use wooden boards, wood composites or medium-firm synthetic boards

- Do not soak or leave the knife in standing water
- Never place in the dishwasher
Storage
