Knife Sets -Shun / The 9 And 7 Piece Shun Knife Block Sets With Bamboo Block
As a practicing chef I am not really into Kitchen Knife Sets. Then I was introduced to Shuns Classic 7 piece and 9 piece knife set with bamboo block
In a real kitchen a good chef will use two, maybe three knives at the most. One will always be your favorite Chefs Knife and the other, a pairing knife. Your chefs knife is usually the 8-inch long knife that you use for pretty well everything. If you are cutting fish – maybe you will use a filleting knife, for sashimi yes, but if you ask any good chef – they will tell you that knife sets are a joke.
People who go out and spend $150 – $200 on a set of twenty-five different knifes that are specifically designed for cutting carrots, or chicken, or whatever are crazy. Pay $140 and go and buy one good knife. This has always been my opinion. I have known chefs that use a cleaver for their everyday knife – and these are some well- known high profile chefs. In a high pressure kitchen environment you will always find chefs that use just one knife. No-one NEEDS a thousand knives.
There are however exceptions to this rule. If you are serious about your food, and I am not talking about having good knives to impress your friends, but if you are serious about your food – then you can get serious about your knives. Even a chef LIKES to have some really good specialty knives to do a certain job. A good knife set only has knives that you need. Shuns Classic 7 piece and 9 piece knife set with bamboo block are for people who are serious. These Shun knife sets have everything you could possibly ever need from a knife. Each set contains a a bread knife, a good pairing knife, a solid cooks knife, and a slicing knife.
Every knife is made in Japan using the Kasumi method – the same style that is used for making Samurai swords. As a Chef I honestly think it is difficult to get knives better than this, without getting one especially designed especially for you. Like I said earlier, I really only ever use one knife – but at home, where I LIKE to cook, sometimes it is good to have a nice knife set. Take a look at the review of The Classic 7 and 9 piece knife set with Bamboo block from Shun if you are interested. You won’t be dissapointed.
