This Essential block set by Shun is so special. It is artistry and masterfully designed. I use my Shun knife block set for everything from weeknight meals to special holiday feasts. The block is also gorgeous, so it sits stylishly on your countertop for daily use. Taken care of properly, these knives will last for many many years. They’re such a special, beautiful, and dream gift for the home cook. LTKGiftGuide LTKstyletip LTKhome
