Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Elite 9-Piece Block Set
Customer Review: Shun Elite - 9 pc. set
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best set of knives that you will ever own! Be careful though, they are also the sharpest. I look at it this way: I am a skilled chef, not by trade but by hobby. This set of knives is the only set I will need for the rest of my lifetime, not quite so with the Henkel set that I bought about 8 years ago. Another thing, do not pay this amount for these, even though they are worth every penney. I got my set on Ebay, & only paid $675 for a NIB 9 pc. set - not 2nd's either. You will have to watch for true auctions, as most all Shun Elite listings are buy-it-now, but it is worth the wait & also the savings, especially in these economic times. I hope this was helpful!
Description of Shun Elite 9-Piece Block Set
Our 9-Piece Shun Elite Block set features 7 of our most sought-after Elite knives, a honing steel and a beautiful bamboo block to house and protect your investment. Our Shun Elite's design is inspired by the artful aesthetics of the samurai sword. The blade is made of a unique core of SG2, an exotic powdered steel that's hardened to 64 Rockwell, resulting in an exceedingly sharp and smooth edge. This amazing metal means that Elite knives stay sharper longer than comparable stainless cutlery. The knives are then clad with two layers of SUS410 a softer stainless steel that provides strength, flexibility and corrosion protection. You'll not only like the way it looks, but you'll love the way it feels in your hand.Block Chef Sets
