Friends and guests will enjoy steak fresh off the grill even more with the right cutting tool in hand. This set of four steak knives by Shun features pointed tips and sharp 5-inch blades for smooth, even slicing. The knives also work well for cutting ham, roasts, and other types of meat. A great gift idea for any meat lover, the set of steak knives arrive in a wooden gift box measuring 11-1/2 by 7-3/4 by 1-3/4 inches.
As part of Shun's Classic collection, the knives come precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Their eye-catching beauty starts with a VG-10 stainless-steel blade, which features 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing a 33 layered Damascus look, but without the rusting problems associated with Damascus. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knives' aesthetic appeal, but it also reduces drag and helps maintain the integrity of food when slicing. The knives' sleek good looks continue on into their handles. Offering a D-shaped design for a comfortable grip, the unique ebony Pakkawood handle consists of a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin to exceptionally noteworthy results. A steel end-cap offers an attractive finishing touch, and the set carries a limited lifetime warranty. Though dishwasher-safe, Shun recommends washing the knives by hand.
From the Manufacturer
Shun Classic Cutlery
Why Buy Shun Classic:
Born of the ancient samurai-sword-making tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is an ideal choice for anyone buying their first Japanese knife or 50th. The high-quality line of cutlery makes a worthwhile addition to any chef's arsenal of tools--it's used by professional chefs and home cooks alike. Produced in the widest variety of specialized styles, the Classic line features both traditional European blade shapes and innovative cutting-edge designs.
Shun Classic's amazingly sharp blade is famous for both edge retention and ease of sharpening. Each blade has a core of VG-10 "Super Steel" with a Pattern Damascus cladding of 32 layers of high-carbon stainless steel--16 layers on either side. While the wood grain pattern enhances the knife's beauty, it also adds durability and stain resistance, and reduces friction when cutting.
NSF certified for use in commercial kitchens.
Detailed Features
- Blade core consists of high-carbon VG-10, a Japanese super steel known for its edge retention, allowing the knives to hold their sharp edges for years.
- Blades boast a 16-degree angle, making these the sharpest knives out of the box. This is sharper than traditional European blades, which are usually sharpened to 20-22 degrees.
- Clad with 16 layers of SUS410/SUS431 Pattern Damascus stainless steel on each side for strength and flexibility. This metal is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain.
- Damascus styling adds to the beauty of the knife while the microscopic air pockets created by the cladding process reduces friction during slicing.
- D-shaped handle fits in the palm and provides comfort and control, keeping the knife's handle secure in the hand during use.
- Available standard in D-shaped handle styles or by special order in reverse D-shaped handle styles.
- Pakkawood handles, made of resin-impregnated hardwood, are NSF Certified for use in commercial kitchens.
- Produced in Seki City, Japan, the capital of samurai sword manufacturing.
- Rockwell hardness rating of 60-61 ensures that it takes and holds its incredibly sharp edge longer.
- Hand wash and dry recommended; limited lifetime warranty.

Great knives but beware...,

This review is from: Shun DMS400 Classic 4-Piece Steak-Knife Set (Kitchen)
These knives are fantastic but beware of the company shipping them. The Knife Store is company that ships this particular item (for Amazon) right now and they no longer carry these knives. Instead, when you order the classic knives you get the identical ones with the stainless steel handles... If these are the first Shun knives you're ordering... no biggie... but if you're trying to complete a collection just be aware that they won't contact you before shipping the wrong knives so you'll have to deal with the return process if you want to fix it.

BEWARE!!!,
This review is from: Shun DMS400 Classic 4-Piece Steak-Knife Set (Kitchen)
The knives are five star all the way. Shun makes amazing knives.
But if you paid for a wood handle set and get a steel handle set, you HAVE BEEN CHEATED. Search for: shun stainless handle steak knives ...and you will see that many places offer the stainless handel set for as little as $199. Wood handle sets cost way more, and if you paid for the wood handle set and got stainless steel, absolutely get your money back and raise hell with the merchant. Once again I stress that the knives themselves -- whether stainless handle or wood -- deserve five stars But ONLY if that is what you paid for.
