The Bent Fork - Shun Knives

People always ask about knives.  Which to get, how to know the best - well, I must say that Shun knives have always been my favorite and the quality is second to none.  Here is a set that you can get at Williams- Sonoma.   But they can also be found at Sur La Table.



Named for the blacksmith’s forge, the Kaji series was developed by Shun’s master knife makers exclusively for Williams-Sonoma. Combining ancient Damascus-steel and clad-construction techniques, this set makes an excellent introduction to the Kaji series.
