Precision Slice: Shun Classic 9-Inch Artisan Bread Knife

Product Description

The Shun Classic 9-inch Bread Knife is designed for smoothly cutting through breads, cakes, and pastries. It is part of the Classic Series, the first Japanese cutlery line introduced in the U.S., mixing traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. The knife has a VG-MAX steel core and 68 layers of Damascus steel, providing excellent sharpness with a precise 16-degree edge. It features a D-shaped Pakkawood handle for a comfortable grip, suitable for both left and right-handed users. Free honing service is also available. Handcrafted in Japan, this knife reflects centuries of knife-making expertise and a focus on high quality.

On Amazon, this knife is praised for its ability to cut through various types of bread, from artisan loaves to baguettes, as well as desserts like angel food cake and chocolate tart. The 9-inch serrated blade ensures that it slices through food without tearing or crushing. With a 90-year legacy of fine craftsmanship, Shun knives are made in Japan by the reputable KAI company. The blade combines a VG-10 “super steel” core with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel, giving it a rust-resistant, visually appealing Damascus pattern. This design not only looks good but also helps prevent food from sticking and minimizes damage during slicing.

The handle is made of a unique blend of hardwood and resin for a comfortable D-shaped grip, while a stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles, and a steel end-cap completes the design. Although the knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. A lifetime warranty is included with the product.
