Shun Classic Steak Knife Set, 4 Piece, 4.75" Knives, Handcrafted Japanese Steak Knife Set, VG-MAX Core with Damascus Stainless Steel Cladding, Pakkawood Handle

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.)

I was looking for a high quality set of steak knives to augment my set of 4 Ken Onion steak knives, which are incredible but no longer available. This Shun set is superb: the knives feel great in hand, and are very sharp, easy to clean, and great looking! Very classy! Mission accomplished!

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.

These knives are insanely sharp, well balanced, and light enough to use for long periods without any effort. Wonderful cooking / eating knives. The only downside is that I can imagine the tips might break off fairly easily, but keep them safe and they seem like they’d last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

These steak knives are very nice to use. Great blade & good balance.

Bought this knife set awhile back and the family has been very happy with using them. Great quality and durability just wished the handle was abit more ergonomic to hold. Became a Shun knife fan very quickly now all of our knives are Shun. Highly recommend this product.

These steak knives work on anything including red meats. I love this product, all I need now is a miniature knife block to hold them!

Have several Shun kitchen knives. Finally broke down and bought these as my old steak knives where tearing the meat. These sliced through steak like butter. my company love them. I have never been wrong buying a shun of the classic line
