## Overview

The Shun Premier 15-piece Knife Block Set is a premium collection handcrafted in Seki, Japan, featuring VG-MAX steel cores layered with 34 layers of Damascus cladding for superior sharpness, durability, and stain resistance. Each blade is honed to a precise 16° double-bevel angle and finished with a hammered Tsuchime texture to reduce drag. The ergonomic walnut PakkaWood handles provide comfort and balance, making this set a complete, professional-grade toolkit for every culinary challenge, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

## Description

The Shun Premier line calls to mind as 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 "super 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 samurai swords 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. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.

Review: Top notch as always with Shun - Upgraded from my 8 year old 10 piece classic and as always with Shun the knives are awesome. But like many or multiple reviews state the block is not worthless but close. I'm going to attempt to cut it and give it a little more angle because I won't be able to get the knives out without moving it from underneath the cabinet because it's too vertical.
Review: Beautiful Quality - Love these.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.

My old Shuns were getting pretty worn down after sharpening over the last 15 years. Decided to upgrade. These are the sharpest knives I've ever owned. Great quality, functionality, and looks.
