In the world of professional and home cooking, Shun Cutlery has made quite a name since it originated over a century ago in Seki, Japan. The renowned 3.5-inch Kanso paring knife has received numerous praises, but today, the spotlight shines on the entire five-piece Kanso knife set that has been drastically reduced in price at Amazon for a brief period. Shun Cutlery’s popularity amongst the masses is such that their inventory doesn’t hang around for too long, especially when the price is knocked down by over $100. Make this knife set your own before it sells out.

When considering knife sets, it’s often best to adopt a minimalist approach. The fact is, you only need a small number of quality blades to handle nearly anything that graces your chopping board. The complete five-piece Kanso set from Shun embodies this philosophy perfectly. Included within the set are three multifunction knives, a honing steel for blade maintenance, and a convenient bamboo block for tidy storage.

The 3.5-inch paring knife excels in dealing with daily tasks such as peeling garlic and hulling strawberries. The 6-inch utility knife, featuring a straight and narrow blade, is perfect for slicing sizable produce like large, ripe tomatoes. Also included is the 7-inch Santoku knife, its specificity lies in fast downward cuts, aided by modestly curved shape, and also features fluted edges preventing food sticking and securing fingers from accidents. Each blade, despite their diverse utility, is fabricated from high-carbon stainless steel and adopts a full-tang design, ensuring the blade extends through the entire handle for maximum stability and precision.

Amazon customers are showering their praises on this set, mirroring the positive reactions I had when I first begun using the Kanso paring knife. Customers have been raving about the set; one wrote, “excellent set…wonderfully sharp and beautiful”, while another expressed the quality of the knives: “last a long time, if not a lifetime.”

Now is your opportunity to acquire Shun's five-piece Kanso knife set from Amazon with an impressive markdown of over $100. Seize the chance before you miss out on achieving professional-grade precision in your kitchen. At the time of writing, the set is priced at $367.
