Shun DMS400 Classic 4-Piece Steak-Knife Set Review

What makes Shun knives unique from a wide array of knives available in the market is they have unmatched aesthetics and have incredibly sharp edges. Every knife receives dedicated work and requires at least 100 steps to complete, which is done by the skilled artisans. Along with this is the fact that they have delivered product
excellence for 100 years, and continues to do so with the added advantages of the latest technology and newest materials used in making knives. One product would be the Shun DMS400 Classic Knives.

 

The Shun DMS400 Classic 4-Piece Steak-Knife Set is reminiscent of hand-forged knives that are made with stainless steel and Damascus. Each one is comprised of a thin blade with a 16 degree angle that is extremely sharp and easily glides through steak, leaving most of the juice still packed in the meat and thus provides both knife and food satisfaction. They have D-shaped Pakkawood handles with a steel-end cap that displays elegance and is explicitly stylish yet comfortable at the same time.

This Asian-inspired steak knife is designed to let you fully enjoy your meals. It makes a big difference with the flavor and fullness of your steak, and the enjoyment you get out of slicing it, rather than using other steak knives. Most people are impressed with its performance and would recommend it to friends and family, gaining an average of 4.7 stars out of 5 from Amazon ratings. The Shun DMS400 Classic 4-Piece Steak-Knife Set would be both a practical and sophisticated addition to your kitchen.

It has been since the 13th century that Seki City has been regarded the heart of Japanese cutlery industry, which is also where Kai Corporation's foundation is built.
