The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block set comprises three essential Shun knives, along with the Shun Classic Combination Honing Steel and an elegant 6-slot Slimline Block. Included are the 8-in Chef's Knife, the 3.5-in Paring Knife, and the 6-in Utility Knife. Regular honing using the provided Shun Combination Honing Steel helps preserve the edge, extending the intervals between sharpenings.

The Slimline Bamboo Block requires minimal countertop space and ensures easy maintenance. Despite these features, there's still space to augment your collection with an additional knife and a pair of kitchen shears.
