That's what I appreciate about the Shun Premier set. These are proper fine-edged knives, not the usual serrated steak knives, and the five-inch blades feel just right at the table. The hammered steel and walnut-colored handles are beautiful, but it's the quality of the cut that makes them worth owning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Boulton, Founder, Design \u0026amp; Grace\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShips from Texas with Confidence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour Shun Premier 4 Piece Steak Knife Set is carefully packed and shipped from our Texas facility.
