Kai Shun Classic Steak Knife Set

A set of four Japanese steak knives with straight, fine blades; arrives in a wooden box.

---DETAILS---

Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it feel more effortless than using a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge for longer. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or ‘D’) shape that moulds perfectly to your right hand. (Left-handed users, worry not: the ambidextrous and equally impressive Kai Shun premier range includes steak knives as well.) These knives have sharp blades that cut through ingredients neatly, without causing them to release too much juice.

This set of four 12cm steak knives comes in a beautiful wooden box for safe storage and makes an excellent gift. Read our Japanese knife care guide .

---BENEFITS--- ‘A Kai Shun Classic knife glides through ingredients with precision, and holds its edge for a long time between sharpening sessions.'
