A truly exceptional purchase or gift for the accomplished chef, this mega-set includes 22 Shun Classic knives and implements, along with a handsome bamboo storage block. Each knife features the Classic series' D-shaped, black Pakkawood handle and Damascus-look ripples on the blade. A Shun knife turns everyday kitchen tasks, such as sandwich making and chopping onions, into a pleasurable experience, and tackles trickier cuisine demands with aplomb. Included in the set are the following knives: 2-1/2-inch bird's beak paring; 3-1/2-inch paring; 4-inch paring; 3-1/2-inch vegetable; 6-inch utility; 6-inch chef's; 6-inch boning; 7-inch santoku; 8-inch chef's; 10-inch chef's; 9-inch bread; 9-inch slicer; Chinese vegetable cleaver; 9-inch offset deli; and 6 steak knives. Also included are a carving fork and sharpening steel. Shun knives, made in Japan by KAI (Kershaw Cutlery), are quite possibly the sharpest knives on the market. A Shun edge, formed to an acute 16-degree angle, won't bend or waver due to the hardness of the VG-10 steel core used in its construction. Clad with 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel (16 on each side), the blade resists rusting and maintain its razor edge for a considerable time. Prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Asian cuisine, Shun knives are covered by a lifetime warranty and should be washed and dried-carefully-by hand, then stored in the included bamboo block. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box
