Shun Classic kitchen shear set — 2-piece (full-size kitchen shear + 16° herb shears), 420J2 stainless, padded handles

The Shun Classic 2-Piece Shear Set pairs a full-size kitchen shear with precision herb shears, delivering long-lasting sharpness and comfortable control for a wide range of culinary tasks.

Designed and handcrafted in Japan, this set combines a heavy-duty multipurpose shear with a fine 16-degree-edge herb shear so you can trim herbs, open packaging, prepare poultry, and more without switching tools. Built from 420J2 stainless steel and finished with padded handles, the two shears separate for easy cleaning and come with free honing support to help maintain optimal cutting performance.

How do these shears make everyday kitchen prep faster?

The full-size kitchen shears handle heavy chores like cutting small bones, opening packaging, and trimming produce, while the herb shears let you quickly snip bunches without bruising delicate leaves. Having both tools in one set reduces tool changes and speeds through prep work.

• Kitchen shear blade notch for cutting flower stems and small poultry bones
• Herb shear with a 16° edge for clean, non-bruising cuts
• Two sizes that cover both coarse and fine tasks, reducing steps

What makes the cutting edges durable and easy to maintain?

Both blades are forged from 420J2 stainless steel, a material known for corrosion resistance and edge retention in kitchen tools. The herb shears are ground to a 16-degree bevel for precise slicing, and Shun supports the set with complimentary honing so you can keep edges performing well.

• 420J2 stainless-steel construction for long-term sharpness and rust resistance
• 16-degree cutting angle on herb blades for clean, efficient cuts
• Free honing support to restore the edge when needed

Are these shears comfortable and simple to clean?

Padded handles provide a secure, ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. Both shears separate easily at the pivot, making it straightforward to clean between blades and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture build-up.

• Padded, slip-resistant grips for comfortable control
• Blades come apart for full access when washing and drying
• Compact herb shear design for nimble wrist movements and accurate trimming

How do I use each shear to get the best results?

Use the full-size kitchen shear for tougher jobs like trimming poultry joints, opening vacuum seals, and cutting stems. Reserve the herb shears for delicate greens, stripping leaves, and precise snips to prevent bruising and preserve flavor and appearance.

• Kitchen shears: poultry trimming, packaging, and stem cutting
• Herb shears: rapid herb snipping, stem cutting, and stripping
• Separate blades for targeted cleaning and safe storage

Who is this set for? Home cooks and professional chefs who want a reliable pair of scissors for both heavy-duty and delicate kitchen tasks will appreciate this dual-shear solution. If you value Japanese workmanship, long-lasting stainless steel edges, and tools that are easy to maintain and comfortable to handle, the Shun Classic 2-Piece Shear Set is a practical upgrade to your culinary toolkit.
