Shun DMS510 Classic 5 Piece Starter Block Set

Just the basics needed to equip your kitchen

The Shun Classic 5-Piece Starter Block set includes three of the most essential Shun knives, plus the Shun Classic Honing Steel and a beautiful 11-slot Shun Bamboo Block. You'll get the 8-in. Chef's Knife, the 3 1/2-in. Paring Knife, and the 6-in. Utility Knife. With these three elegant Shun Classic knives in your block, you'll be able to handle almost any kitchen tasks. Regular honing with the included Shun Honing Steel helps maintain your edge and prolongs the time between sharpenings. The bamboo block will look beautiful on your counter and you'll also appreciate its easy-care performance. Since bamboo absorbs very little moisture, it doesn’t shrink or swell like other hardwoods, making it ideal for kitchen accessories. Even with all this, you'll have room for up to six additional Shun knives and a pair of Kitchen or Herb Shears in your Shun Bamboo Block.
