Shun Classic 6-Inch Utility Knife & Kai Multi-Purpose Kitchen Shears Set

Shun Classic 6-Inch Utility Knife & Kai Multi-Purpose Kitchen Shears Set provides a coordinated starting point for kitchen preparation. A set can make sense when several tools need replacing together, while its practical value comes from how well the included shapes fit the meals you cook.

At a glance

• Utility knife and shears

  The 6-inch Classic utility knife is paired with Kai multi-purpose kitchen shears for small cuts and snipping tasks.

• Pakkawood knife handles

  The knife handles use resin-treated wood. Choose a grip that feels secure for both broad cuts and smaller preparation tasks.

• Individual blade roles

  Use each blade for its intended task: a broad preparation knife, a small trimming knife and a specialist slicer serve different needs.

Find your fit

Start with the tasks you repeat: broad board work, small trimming jobs and any specialist cutting you do often. Our Japanese knife guide explains the main shapes; utility and paring roles explain useful complements.

Care and storage

Hand wash each knife with mild detergent and dry it fully before storage. Keep edges apart so the pieces cannot strike one another or other utensils. Our knife-storage guide covers blocks, drawers and guards.
