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. A razor-sharp fine edge glides through the meat and cuts fewer of its fibers, so more of the juices stay inside the steak. Because the edge is not serrated, it slices cleanly instead of tearing, and it 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 light blonde PakkaWood handles bring the performance of the Shun Classic Blonde line to the table in a warmer tone. 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 VG-MAX steel holds its edge for a very long time even with repeated contact against a plate.Stainless Damascus cladding: Layered stainless steel supports each core, adds stain resistance, and gives every knife the signature Classic pattern.D-shaped blonde PakkaWood handles: The light-toned 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 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.

A serrated steak knife saws through meat; a fine edge slices it. The Zwilling Pro 4-piece steak knife set uses straight, non-serrated 4.5-inch blades, so a ribeye or a filet comes away in clean slices that keep their juices on the plate rather than on the board.Each knife is forged like the Pro kitchen knives and has the same curved bolster, which gives the hand a natural pinch grip and a stop at the front of the handle. Because the edges are straight, they can be honed and sharpened at home like any other kitchen knife.Store the knives so their edges do not touch other cutlery, and hone them occasionally on a kitchen steel. Washed by hand and dried, a fine edge on a forged steak knife lasts many years of dinners.The table in the Details compares the four Zwilling steak sets. To match a Pro block, see the Pro 7-piece knife block set. Learn More

The birch handles match the rest of the line, so the set suits a household that already owns Birchwood knives.For the kitchen, see the Birchwood 7-piece block set.

Four Kaizen steak knives with flower Damascus blades and black Micarta handles, presented in a bamboo case. They cut steak cleanly and match the Kaizen kitchen knives.Steak knives are very difficult to keep sharp, because their edges are continually drawn across ceramic and porcelain plates, which can dull steel very quickly. Kaizen steak knives are made from hard VG10 steel, which stays sharp without the need to regularly hone or sharpen them.Hand wash and dry them after dinner, as with all Miyabi knives. For the kitchen, see the Kaizen 7-piece set.A fine edge leaves a cleaner cut on a good steak than a serrated steak knife does, and keeps the juices in the meat. Store the knives in their case so the edges do not knock against other cutlery. Learn More
