Inspired by the Japanese word for "white-capped wave," Shun's Shiranami collection boasts an exquisitely waved pattern on every blade. The rippled Damascus finish is formed by 71 layers of durable stainless steel. The steak knives in this four-piece set feature exceptionally sharp blade edges and fine, thin mid-blades for superior slicing. Deep blue resin embeds natural jute, creating lattice-patterned handles with subtle texture for a secure grip. Combine these knives with others in the Shiranami line to build a stunning, high-performance cutlery collection.
Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp knives are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
