Kai Shun Classic White 5 Knife, Whetstone and Block Set / Oak Block

Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpenings’with a whetstone only. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or ‘D’) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. (Left-handed users, worry not; we also carry a 5-knife set in the ambidextrous and equally impressive Kai Shun Premier range.) The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment. The set includes one of each of the following:
Chef’s Knife
Slicing Knife
Bread Knife
Utility Knife
Paring Knife
Kai Stonehenge Knife Block
Whetstone
