Shun Cutlery Classic Blonde Steak Knife

These knives feature a VG-MAX cutting core clad in 34 layers of stainless steel on each side. This Damascus-style construction provides superior edge retention and a razor-sharp finish that slices through meat cleanly rather than tearing it.

No, these knives should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. The high-quality wood handle and precision-sharpened edge can be damaged by the heat, moisture, and harsh detergents found in a dishwasher.

The D-shaped handle is designed to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand, providing a secure and ergonomic grip. This shape helps prevent the knife from rotating in your hand during use, offering better control while cutting.

To maintain their performance, you should avoid cutting on glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces, which can dull the blade. We recommend occasional honing with a fine-grit steel and professional sharpening when the edge eventually loses its peak performance.

While designed specifically for steak, their 4.75-inch blade and exceptional sharpness make them versatile enough for other table-side tasks, such as slicing cooked poultry or pork chops. However, they are not intended for heavy-duty kitchen prep like chopping through bone or frozen foods.
