Shun Premier 6 Piece Steak Knife Set with Block

Six Shun Premier 5" Steak Knives
6 Slot Bamboo Steak Knife Block

Shun Premier Steak Knives make your best steaks taste even better with the incredibly sharp and clean edge, there's no tearing or sawing. Because the edge is so sharp, it cuts fewer of the capillaries in the meat and keeps more of the meat juices, which translates to more of the flavor, inside the steak. Once you use a dedicated steak knife, you'll understand that the right knife really can make an enormous difference in the enjoyment of your meal.<br /><br />The Shun Premier line calls to mind as the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed, similar to samurai swords using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty.<br /><br />Knife Block: 5" x 2" x 7.5" tall overall
