A 5-inch Damascus steak knife from the Lan series, built for the table. The blade is 73 layers of Damascus steel folded around a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core, ground to 15 degrees per side and finished with a mirror-polished pattern. An olive wood handle and copper flower rivets give it presence on the plate, while the full-tang construction keeps it balanced in hand. Hand wash only. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Reach for this at the table, not the prep board. The 5-inch Lan Series Steak Knife is there for the moment a guest cuts into a rested ribeye and needs the blade to do the work, not the pressure of their hand. A sharp steak knife respects the cook's effort. This one has the steel to back it up.
The 5-inch blade is the right length for at-table work: long enough for a full steak, short enough to stay controlled. The 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core is vacuum heat-treated to 62-64 HRC, so the edge stays keen through dinner for a full table of guests. You won't reach for the honing rod between courses. The 73-layer Damascus cladding protects the core and gives each blade a flowing pattern that looks as good on the table as it cuts.
The polished olive wood handle feels at home at a dinner setting. Each handle has its own grain, so no two look the same. The hidden tang keeps the balance point close to the hand, which means the knife doesn't tip forward awkwardly when you're cutting at an angle on a plate.
Pair with the Lan Series 8.5" Chef Knife (B37-CS) for the cook's side of the meal, and the Lan Series 10" Carving Knife (B37-QR) for presenting a roast before it reaches the table.
All our knives arrive in a beautiful, premium gift box that's ready to impress. (Whether it's for a very lucky friend, or just for you.)
Lan Series · B37
The Lan steak knife is the premium end of the Xinzuo table range. A 5-inch Damascus blade, an olive wood handle, and copper flower rivets make it as much a presentation piece as a cutting tool. This is the knife you bring out for guests and the one that holds its edge through years of dinners.

Why It Cuts Clean
A 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core runs through 73 layers of Damascus, hardened to 62±2 HRC by vacuum heat treatment and deep freeze. Ground to 15 degrees per side, the double-bevel edge glides through steak without sawing or tearing, so every slice stays clean and the cut stays presentable on the plate.
The Steel
The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, clad in 73 layers of Damascus and hardened to 62±2 HRC through vacuum heat treatment and deep freeze. Powder metallurgy gives a fine, even grain that takes a keen edge and holds it. The mirror-polished surface shows the layered pattern across the whole blade.
Specification
Hand-wash only — not dishwasher safe.
In the Hand
The handle is olive wood, set over a full tang and fixed with copper flower rivets in a decorative pattern. The full tang carries weight back into the hand for steady control, and the olive grain means no two knives look the same. At roughly 110 grams it sits comfortably for table use.
