Skilled artisans craft Shun's Kazahana knives by hand, honing the blades to exceedingly sharp and long-lasting edges. The high-carbon stainless steel is then polished by hand to create a satin finish that reduces drag while cutting and releases food easily. Beautifully balanced and strong, the versatile knives are finished with durable black handles polished to a glossy finish. This set features a 3.5-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife and honing steel in a slim, angular block with a modern countertop presence.
