Shun Premier 4-Piece Steak Knife Set (TDMS0400)
The Shun Premier 4-Piece Steak Knife Set is for hosts who want the knife on the table to match the steak on the plate. A razor-sharp fine edge glides through the meat and cuts fewer of its fibers, so more of the juices stay inside the steak rather than running onto the plate. Because the edge is not serrated, it slices cleanly instead of tearing, and it is easier to re-sharpen when the time comes. The 5-inch blades are long enough for the largest steak, yet short enough for close control. The hand-hammered tsuchime finish gives each knife the signature Shun Premier look and helps food release. The set of four suits a small dinner party and arrives in a 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 VG-MAX steel holds its edge for a very long time even with repeated contact against a plate.VG-MAX cutting cores: Shun’s proprietary steel resists wear and corrosion and holds a fine, keen edge.Hammered tsuchime finish: The hand-hammered surface helps food release and gives the set its distinctive appearance.Contoured walnut PakkaWood handles: The handles offer comfort and control and resist moisture.Gift box: The presentation box makes the set ready to give and doubles as storage.Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan: Each Shun 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.

Shun Premier 8-Piece Professional Block Set
For the culinary professional or dedicated home chef looking to instantly elevate their entire kitchen arsenal, the Shun Premier 8-Piece Professional Block Set (TDMS0808) delivers an unparalleled blend of Japanese artistry and exacting performance. This comprehensive collection goes far beyond the basics, equipping you with the precise tools needed for both specialized tasks and heavy-duty daily prep. Alongside the workhorse 8-inch Chef's Knife, 6.5-inch Utility Knife, and 4-inch Paring Knife, this set provides specialized profiles: a nimble 5.5-inch Santoku for rapid vegetable processing, a 9-inch Bread Knife with low-frequency serrations to glide through crusty boules without tearing the crumb, and an elegant 9.5-inch Slicing Knife designed for clean, single-pass cuts through large proteins. At the core of each knife is Shun’s proprietary VG-MAX "super steel," formulated to take and hold an incredibly sharp 16-degree edge (per side) through rigorous use. This core is clad with 68 micro-layers of Damascus stainless steel for enhanced stain resistance and lateral strength. The stunning "tsuchime" (hammered) finish is more than just aesthetic; the hammered cavities function similarly to a hollow-ground blade, reducing drag and preventing dense or sticky foods from adhering to the steel, thus streamlining your workflow. The contoured, walnut-colored PakkaWood® handles rest naturally in the palm, accommodating both standard grips and professional pinch grips with exceptional balance. Housed in a handsome, sustainable 11-slot bamboo block alongside a 9-inch combination honing steel, this set intentionally leaves four open slots (including one for kitchen shears), allowing your bespoke collection to grow over time.
