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.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Authorized Shun retailer: We sell genuine Shun cutlery backed by the manufacturer's full warranty.
Ships from Texas: Your knife is carefully packed and shipped from our Texas facility.
Practical support: Our team can help with knife care, suitable cutting surfaces, storage, sharpening, and long-term ownership.
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 matching 5-inch handle gives the knife a balanced overall profile. Prussian blue jute micarta provides a durable, water-resistant grip with enough texture for secure handling at the table.
Signature Features
5-inch steak blade: Provides a practical cutting length for steaks, chops, poultry, and other cooked proteins.
Non-serrated edge: Makes smooth, precise cuts and can be sharpened throughout the life of the knife.
71-layer Dual Core Damascus steel: Alternating VG10 and VG2 stainless steel layers create the cutting structure and flowing wave pattern.
Fine cutting geometry: Supports direct slicing with less pressure and less tearing than a conventional table knife.
Prussian blue jute micarta handle: Resin-stabilized jute provides durability, water resistance, and a secure grip.
Full composite tang: Extends through the handle for strength, stability, and balanced handling.
4.1-ounce weight: Keeps the knife light and controlled without feeling insubstantial at the table.
Handcrafted in Japan: Made by Shun using Japanese blade-making methods and modern stainless steels.
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.
From Our Founder
"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."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
