Shun Classic 9 Piece Chef's Block Set

Shun Classic 9 Piece Chef's Block 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

• 9 pieces in one set

  Use the individual blade roles to plan your preparation. A total piece count can include storage or maintenance items as well as knives.

• 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.

• Countertop block

  The block format keeps a group of knives together. Allow enough overhead clearance to remove the longest blade without striking a cabinet.

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 the knives, dry them completely and protect their edges separately. Keep wood storage pieces clean with a damp cloth, then dry them; do not soak a block or tray. Our knife-storage guide covers blocks, drawers and guards.
