"The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades and walnut PakkaWood handles that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. Expertly crafted in Japan, the VG-MAX "super steel" blades are thin and lightweight yet remarkably strong. This set includes five essential knives and a sleek beech wood tray to keep them neatly organized in a drawer. Blades feature core of extremely hard VG-MAX "super steel" clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel. Striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps quickly release food from blade. Walnut-finish PakkaWood handles have two-position design, providing trigger grip for pull cuts and perfect balance point for pinch grip. Stainless-steel endcaps embossed with Shun logo add stability, strength and ideal weight distribution from end to end. In-drawer storage tray is made of beech wood and safely holds up to 7 knives. A Williams Sonoma exclusive. Set includes: 4" paring knife 5 1/2" santoku 6" serrated utility knife 6 1/2" master utility knife 8" chef's knife In-drawer storage tray"
