Shun Hikari 7-Piece Knife Block Set

Named Hikari after the Japanese word for "illumination," the masterfully crafted, award-winning knives in this set are distinguished by their stunning birch PakkaWood handles and "hornet's nest" pattern. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, the blades have microserrations that reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavor of the food. The set includes five essential knives, as well as a dual-textured honing steel and solid birch block for eye-catching display and easy access.

• Shares the same award-winning construction as the Hikari chef's knife – named 2016's Kitchen Knife of the Year.
• Dual-core stainless steel blades are clad on each side with 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel to create a "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
• Exceedingly sharp cutting edges, hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle, are long-lasting and easy to maintain.
• Polished bolster promotes a comfortable chef's grip.
• Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture and bacteria and has a beautiful low-gloss finish.
• Embossed endcap adds beauty and balance.
• Handle offers a superb grip for both left- and right-handed users.
