With a combination of beauty and function; this 5-piece Starter Block Set provides all of the essentials and then some.

Review: Cuidado facas em damasco. Utilize buchas que não arranham ou a parte macia se for lavar manualmente. - Qualidade excelente do Kit. Ótimo corte e dureza bem satisfatória para o dia adia. Fácil afiar com pedras de boa qualidade. Shapton pro/glass e naniwa chosera. Gosto da gramatura 2-3k para ela.
Review: Wonderful knives, a pleasure to use - I have used Wusthof knives for years, and have found them to be very good. But they are often heavy and awkward for me. The Shun knives are light, extremely sharp and perfect for finer tasks. Precise cuts are much easier and the light, nimble knives are a real pleasure to use. This makes tedious knivework easier and faster. Excellent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes Shun worth the upgrade?**
A: Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.

**Q: How should I care for my Shun knife?**
A: Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.

**Q: What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?**
A: Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.

**Q: How often should I sharpen my knife?**
A: Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.

**Q: What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?**
A: Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
