Shun Premier Blonde 12 Piece Professional Block Set

Shun Premier Blonde 12 Piece Professional 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

• 12 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.

• Premier Blonde knife handles

  The knife handles use light-colored, resin-treated wood for a warm contrast with the blade.

• Premier Blonde blades

  Premier’s tsuchime texture and layered blade pattern are paired with a lighter handle in the Blonde version.

• 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.
