Shun Hikari Knives, Set of 6

Summary

Named after the Japanese word for "illumination," the masterfully crafted, award-winning knives in this collection are distinguished by stunning birch PakkaWood handles and "hornet's nest" blade patterns. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, each blade has micro serrations that reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavor of ingredients. This essential Hikari set includes a honing steel, kitchen shears and a birch block to showcase and grow your collection.

• Dual-core stainless steel blades are clad with 71 alternating micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of Damascus-style blade.
• Exceptionally sharp cutting edges – hand sharpened to 16-degree angle – are long-lasting and easy to maintain.
• Polished bolsters promote comfortable chef's grip.
• Durable birch PakkaWood handles resist moisture and bacteria and feature low-gloss finish.
• Handles provide superb grip for both left-handed and right-handed users.
• Embossed endcaps add beauty and balance.
