Classic 4 Pc Steak Knife Boxed Set

I wanted a nice set of steak/meat cutting knives because it seems that our good set - while nice, didn't quite have the feel of a good knife. These are great! We have two very high-end chef's knives that are truly an experience to use - so sharp, good weight in the hand - for chopping/slicing, etc. I wanted something similar for steaks/meat. I tried one the other night on steak and it cuts through like butter and this wasn't a filet - it was a regular steak with some gristle. I haven't had that sensation with a steak knife even in the good steak restaurants. I picked a non-serrated blade because in researching knives, some prefer not tearing the meat which even the sharpest serrated knives will do. These weren't the most expensive and definitely not the cheapest but these will be our knives for many years so - good investment. You won't need any more steak knives if you get these. (side note - I keep these away from our daily knives so they are only used for meals with meat because I don't want to think about sharpening them soon... We use steak-sized knives as utility knives all day long - cutting fruit, veges, cooked meats - but not these. You could, of course, but we don't need this type of sharpness in our daily knives.)

My wife's first comment was, "Wow, these feel great in the hand." The quality of craftsmanship in these knives is supreme. They look elegant. They arrived razor sharp and glide through meat effortlessly. I never realized how much those old serrated edge knives tear up the meat, and squeeze the juices out of a good steak. These knives require almost no force to make a good clean cut, but I noticed, now I need a sharper fork. Would I recommend these to a friend? I already have.

Incredible craftsmanship, balance, durability and sharpness. They also look amazing. Do not hesitate if you’re thinking about purchasing these knives.

Wonderful knife. Perfect for steak and roasts.

They are just not practical when you are cutting on a normal plate - the plate is going to kill the edge of the knife quickly unless you really, really baby it.

Nice looking knife but not the most high quality dumascus steel and dulled quickly (1st use with boneless prime rib roast) would like to had them keep edge longer. i would recommend but buying on sale would help with value

I have used this set since Nov of 2020 and I would say that these are probably the nicest knives I have ever used and maintained. They keep their edge pretty well but even if they lose it, it took very little time and effort to sharpen on a whetstone. They are prone to rusting if left to air dry so just take the extra 10-15 seconds and dry off the blade when you are done hand washing them.

Purchased 2 sets of these and unfortunately the 2 sets didn’t match each other. I contacted the seller and we found out that the knives were from 2 different lots and the one set was the “old style”. Seller was super prompt with replacing the one set with a matching set. The knives looked identical, they just didn’t sit in the knife block the same. Just a subtle difference in the shape of the blade between the tip and heel. Like I said, seller was super prompt in rectifying the problem. I love these knives. They’re super sharp and SHUN will sharpen them for free if you ship them to their US headquarters. This is a multi-lifetime product. They will probably be in my family for generations as long as they’re taken care of.

Excellent presentation box and product high attention to detail

Prodotto impeccabile

These are by far the best steak knives I have ever used. And I have purchased so many brands and styles within different brands. I even prefer these over the Shun Premier version which are also excellent but are larger in the hand. These are non serrated. They cut everything effortlessly and leave a clean edge. I use these for cutting everything that I need to cut on a plate. From morning sunny side up eggs, vegetables, chicken, and of course steak. Does not tear the meat. Glides through and leaves the juices intact. Had them now for a year I think and use them every day. I hone them with a few passes on a sharpening steel every few months. And I've touched them up on sharpening stone 1 time so far. I've reviewed a number of Shun's in the past and these are par for the course. What I will say is that other brands like Messermeister (Avanta), and Chinese brands also make descent plain edge knives. But what I've found with the these Shun is that they hold their edge so much longer. And on a personal note they are perfectly balanced, "for my preference" in the hand at 65g Some people who may like a knife (or steak knife) with weight may find these to feel light (and unbalanced). That is personal preference.

Truly the best steak knives I have ever used. Ensure you pruchase some wooden serving blocks to go with these to avoid ruining the blade. A++ but expensive !

Amazing steak knives
