Shun Classic 9-Inch Bread Knife
Shun Classic 9-Inch Bread Knife
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this bread knife comfortably handles everything from rustic artisan breads to baguettes–and even dessert items such angel food cake or chocolate tart. Featuring a serrated blade measuring 9 inches in length, this tool won’t tear or crush foods during slicing.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 “super steel” core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and helps avoid damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. — Amy Arnold
This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.
Shun Classic 9-Inch Bread Knife Review
I noticed before I bought this knife that ALL its reviews were five stars, and this one rates it that way, too. Bakery slicers always produce slices too thin or too thick, so I do it myself. Before I used this knife, I had to view this as a necessary but moderately difficult chore. Not any more! As one of the previous reviewers remarked, now I look for opportunities to slice bread!
The best surprise came when I read the sheet enclosed with the knife, telling me that I don’t have to sharpen it myself. Send it back to the factory, and they’ll do a professional job for no fee, for life.
