Shun Premier 4 Piece Steak Knife Set
Four handcrafted Japanese steak knives with 5-inch VG-MAX Damascus blades, hammered finishes, and walnut-colored Pakkawood handles
The Shun Premier 4 Piece Steak Knife Set brings the cutting performance of Japanese kitchen knives to the dining table. Each knife features a razor-sharp, non-serrated 5-inch blade that slices cleanly through steak, chops, and other cooked meats without the tearing action of a serrated edge. Handcrafted in Japan, the knives combine a VG-MAX steel cutting core, layered Damascus cladding, and a distinctive hammered finish with contoured walnut-colored Pakkawood handles. Presented as a coordinated set of four, they are made for dinners where both the food and the knives deserve attention.

Shun Premier 4 Piece Steak Knife Set
A Better Cut at the Table
Most conventional steak knives rely on serrated edges to saw through meat. Shun takes a different approach. The Premier steak knives use fine, plain cutting edges that move smoothly through cooked meat, leaving a cleaner cut.
The 5-inch blades offer enough length for a substantial steak while remaining easy to control at the table. Their VG-MAX stainless steel cores are clad with 68 micro layers of Damascus, supporting and protecting the cutting edge. Each blade is sharpened to 16 degrees per side for precise cutting.
The hammered tsuchime finish gives the Premier collection its recognizable appearance and helps reduce food adhesion. The contoured Pakkawood handles have a warm walnut color, resist moisture, and provide a comfortable grip. Together, these details make the knives a natural companion to a carefully prepared steak dinner.
The set arrives in an elegant presentation box suitable for gifting or storage.

From Our Founder
"A really good steak knife should cut cleanly without making you work at it. 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."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
