Explore Kohen | Shun Cutlery

The Shun Kohen 2-Piece Set is more than just a pair of knives. It’s a spark. A reminder that beauty and performance can coexist, and that even everyday meals deserve tools forged with intention, elegance, and purpose.

Power in Every Slice

Kohen’s Dual-Core blades combine 71 micro-layers of premium VG2 and VG10 steel. As the layers wear at different rates, micro-serrations naturally form along the edge, delivering exceptional sharpness and long-lasting performance. The result is effortless control and a glide that feels smooth, precise, and endlessly satisfying.

Designed to Fit, Built to Last

The polished Pakkawood handles are shaped with Shun’s signature D-profile and a gentle ridge that guides your grip. The balance feels natural and secure, with stainless steel endcaps adding both weight and elegance. Every detail is crafted for lasting comfort and control.

Versatility, Refined

Equipped with an 8-inch Chef’s Knife and a 6-inch Utility Knife, the set offers the perfect blend of power and precision. These are two of Shun’s most popular blade shapes, chosen for their ability to handle a wide range of prep tasks with ease. From bold chops to fine slices, they do it all with grace.

A Blaze of Beauty

The etched sunburst blade pattern and platinum-inked Shun logo evoke the energy of a solar flare. Paired with the deep polish and vibrant contrast of the red-and-black handles, Kohen stands apart as a visual masterpiece that reflects light, motion, and meaning with every use.

Presentation with Purpose

The Kohen Set arrives in a foam-lined metal case with a satin finish, offering both protection and presence. Each knife is housed in a custom leather sheath embossed with the Shun logo, blending function with ceremony. Together, they elevate storage into ritual and transform gifting into something unforgettable.
