Shun Premier - 2pc. Paring Knife & Cutting Board Set
****Please Note**** Shun packaged these poorly. The knives in the packaging have already marred the board. If that bothers you, please pass on this deal. The knife alone is usually well over $100.
Planning a party and want to show of the perfect set of cutlery for cutting the garnishes? Looking to upgrade you kitchen knives and need just the basics to start? Look no further than this Premier two-piece set from Shun featuring a 4" Paring Knife and a 9.5" hinoki wood cutting board, perfect to use with all of your Shun knives, current and future. Hinoki wood is prized in Japan for it's beauty, fragrance, and anti-bacterial qualities.
The Shun Premier Paring Knife is part of the beautiful Shun Premier line, which calls to mind 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 the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered 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.
