Shun Kaji 8-Piece Knife Block Set

Summary

Named for the blacksmith’s forge, the Kaji series was developed by Shun’s master knife makers exclusively for Williams-Sonoma. Combining ancient Damascus-steel and clad-construction techniques, this set makes an excellent introduction to the Kaji series.

Blades are constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel.
Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword–making techniques, the blades’ construction creates a supersharp cutting edge.
Handles are made of moisture-resistant, resin-infused PakkaWood, shaped for comfort and control.
These NSF-certified knives meet the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.
Bamboo storage block has 12 slots.
Handcrafted in Japan.
A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

3 1/2” paring knife.

6 3/4” hollow-ground santoku.
8” chef’s knife.
9” bread knife.

Use & Care

Use

Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
Sharpen your straight-edge knives at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
Sharpen your serrated knife at home using a sharpener designed for a serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
