Knives

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.
