The right steak knife can make a good steak taste even better. The key is in keeping more of the flavourful juices inside the steak. A razor-sharp knife, like the Shun Classic Steak Knife, will glide through the meat, cutting fewer of the capillaries in the steak and keeping more of the flavour inside, where it belongs. This set of four beautiful Shun Classic Steak Knives are a perfect length; long enough to handle even the largest steak, yet short enough to provide excellent cutting control. This four-piece set is ideal for a small dinner party. The Shun Classic Steak Knife Set comes in an elegant box, perfect for gift giving or storage.
Born of the ancient samurai swordmaking tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is the perfect line for those making their first foray into the Japanese knife market. Produced in the widest variety of specialised styles, the Classic line features traditional European blade shapes and innovative cutting-edge designs. Handcrafted in Japan it takes more than 100 steps to make each Shun knife. The Shun Classic series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives’ beauty is function; razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun Classic’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side (a total of 69 layers), then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion-resistant, as well as beautiful to behold.
