Shun Shiranami 5" Steak Knife
Handcrafted Japanese steak knife with a non-serrated 71-layer Dual Core Damascus blade
The Shun Shiranami 5" Steak Knife makes clean, controlled cuts through steak, chops, poultry, and other cooked proteins. Its fine non-serrated edge slices rather than saws, helping preserve the texture of the meat while producing smooth portions at the table.

Shun Shiranami 5" Steak Knife
A Fine Edge for Cleaner Table Cuts
The 5-inch blade provides enough length for thick steaks and chops while remaining balanced beside a dinner plate. Its non-serrated edge moves cleanly through cooked meat without the tearing produced by coarse serrations.
The Prussian blue jute micarta handle offers balance, durability, and a secure grip for table-side cutting.
Shun Shiranami 5" Steak Knife
A Steak Knife Designed to Be Resharpened
The plain edge is the practical difference between this knife and a serrated steak knife. It produces a cleaner cut and can be restored through proper sharpening rather than replaced when the edge eventually becomes dull.

"A good steak knife should cut cleanly without making you saw at the plate. The fine edge does that work well, and the balanced micarta handle feels secure without being heavy."
