The stunning craftsmanship apparent in these four Shun steak knives makes the boxed set a true indulgence for someone special. Each knife features a smooth, rather than serrated, Shun Classic blade with an edge so sharp it seems to melt through a perfect steak. The sleek rosewood handle, symmetrical for both right- and left-handed use, is beautifully embellished with an inlaid traditional Japanese medallion in brass that displays when the knife is placed to the right of the plate with the edge facing in. Mirror-finished steel end-caps and bolsters and fine rings of brass complete the beautiful look. The Shun knives are handcrafted in Seki City, Japan's historic samurai-making center, and come secured in a red-plush-lined bamboo box for superb presentation and safe storage. These Shun knives stand out for their incredibly sharp VG-10 blades, clad on each side with 16 layers of high-carbon, stainless steel. The Damascus-look ripples not only add sheen but release food quickly for perfectionist slicing. Shun edges are formed to an unusually keen 16 degree angle, which is one reason they're so prized among chefs who value uniformly thin slices, a necessity in Japanese cuisine. Covered by a lifetime warranty, all Shun knives should be washed and dried-carefully-by hand. --Ann Bieri...(click for less)
