If you love steak, you'll love a Shun Classic Steak Knife

You’ve grilled the perfect steaks, but how best to cut up your masterpiece once it’s on the plate? The answer is the Shun Classic Steak Knife. With Shun’s incredibly sharp, clean edge, there is no need for serrations. The knife simply glides through your steak, keeping flavor where it belongs, and enhancing your dining experience. While you won’t eat steak every day, owning a special knife that will cut through your delicious steaks is one of the great pleasures of life. Remember that cutting against the hard surface of ceramic or glass dinner plates is tough on your edge so these knives will require a little extra care.

The Shun Classic Steak Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line 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's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, 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. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
