Kai Shun Classic Damascus Chef's Choice 9 Piece Set w/Bamboo Block

The Shun Classic 9-piece set reaches beyond just the basic essential kitchen knives every cook needs, includes both a chef's knife and a Santoku for cutting versatility, an essential utility, paring and offset serrated bread knife. The hollow-ground slicer features fluted indentations for smooth, easy, perfect slicing and a boning/fillet to assist preparing special cuts of meats, poultry, and fish.
