Shun Classic 9″ Bread Kitchen Knife 9″ DM0705

The Shun Classic 9″ Bread Knife is a must have in any kitchen. It’s a crime to a ruin fresh loaf of bread by smashing it beneath a blade. The wide, low-frequency serrations of this knife are razor-sharp and give you the power to slice through any type of bread, hard or soft. Whether your bread is delicately tender or wonderfully crusty, just gently saw back and forth to cut off the perfect slice of bread with nary an unsightly rip or tear.

The Shun Cutlery Classic knife features a VG-Max “super” steel blade core clad with 34 folded layers per side of stainless Damascus steel. The blade is ground and bead blasted to reveal the beautiful flowing pattern of the Damascus. Each side is sharpened to a 16 degree angle. It features a D-shaped Ebony PakkaWood handle, which is resin-impregnated natural hardwood designed for moisture resistance and longevity. While the D-shaped handle is designed specifically for right-handed use, left-handed users may find it comfortable in hand as well. Shun does sell select left-hand specific handles in the reverse grip.
