Know before you buy
While these knives are part of the Shun Classic kitchen line, the set is curated for BBQ tasks. The 12-inch brisket knife is ideal for large cuts of meat, the boning knife handles trimming, and the multi-prep knife manages smaller vegetables or garnishes.
These knives feature a 16-degree edge, which is sharper than standard Western knives. To maintain this, you should hone them regularly with a steel and avoid cutting on glass or stone surfaces. Shun also offers free sharpening services if you prefer professional maintenance.
Pakkawood is a premium, water-resistant material made of resin-impregnated hardwood. It is highly durable and stable, making it well-suited for the occasional moisture and temperature fluctuations encountered during outdoor cooking.
Yes, the included knife roll features eight slots. Since the set only occupies three, you have five additional slots available to store your existing favorite kitchen knives or other BBQ tools.
Yes, these knives must be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. They are not dishwasher safe, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the Damascus cladding and the Pakkawood handle.
