Shun Classic 4-Piece Steak Knife Set (DMS400)
The Shun Classic 4-Piece Steak Knife Set is for hosts who want a steak knife that matches the quality of the steak. The right steak knife can make a good steak taste even better, and the key is keeping more of the juices inside the meat. A razor-sharp fine edge glides through, cutting fewer of the meat’s fibers and keeping more of the flavor where it belongs, and because it is not serrated, it cuts cleanly and is easier to re-sharpen when needed. Each knife is long enough to handle the largest steak, yet short enough to provide excellent control. The set of four suits a small dinner party and arrives in a presentation box suitable for gift-giving or storage.
FeaturesFine, non-serrated edge: A clean edge slices rather than tears, so each cut stays neat and the meat stays juicy.Edge retention at the table: Ceramic and glass plates are extremely hard on knife edges, and Shun’s VG-MAX steel holds its edge for a very long time even with repeated contact against a plate, so these knives need sharpening less often.Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports each core, adds stain resistance, and gives every knife the signature Classic pattern.D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles: The handles are comfortable in either hand, durable, and do not harbor bacteria.Full composite tang: The composite construction keeps each knife light and balanced.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun Classic knife requires at least 100 individual steps to complete in Seki City, one of Japan’s most important blade-making centers since the 13th century.Free lifetime sharpening: Shun offers free lifetime sharpening for every knife in the set.

The Shun Classic Blonde 4-Piece Steak Knife Set is for hosts who want a steak knife that matches the quality of the steak and the look of a lighter, brighter table.

Messermeister Meridian Elite 5-Piece Next Level Knife Block Set
Three Essential Solingen Knives and the Steel to Keep Them Sharp The Messermeister Meridian Elite 5-Piece Next Level Knife Block Set is for cooks who want a small, complete German set: the three knife shapes that handle nearly every daily task, a honing steel to maintain them, and a magnetic block that keeps them in view.
Why It Works Thin, acute edge: A flat-ground edge, sharpened to a finer angle than many German knives, gives clean, precise cuts through vegetables and proteins. German stainless steel: The Thyssen-Krupp alloy resists stains and corrosion and returns readily to a sharp edge on a steel or stone. Full-tang, triple-riveted handle: The tang runs the full length of the handle and is secured by three rivets, for balance and durability. Honing steel included: Regular honing keeps the edges aligned between sharpenings, so the knives stay sharp longer. Next Level magnetic block: Knives rest against the block’s magnetic faces, where they stay visible and easy to reach.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife carries the board work, from dicing onions to slicing chicken breasts. The utility knife handles sandwiches, shallots and cheese, and the paring knife covers peeling and trimming in the hand. For the same Next Level block with olive wood handles and a bread knife in place of the steel, see the Messermeister Oliva Elite 5-Piece Next Level Block Set. Learn More
