Product Description
The Shun Classic 9-Inch Serrated Bread Knife slices through crisp crusts while protecting the tender crumb inside. Its wide, undulating “low-frequency” serrations gently saw through crusty loaves without ripping, squashing, or tearing, and work equally well on soft breads and pastries.
A strong, fine-grained VG-MAX cutting core provides a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge with wear and corrosion resistance. Stainless Damascus cladding supports the core, adds stain resistance, and helps food release from the blade. The ebony-finished, D-shaped Pakkawood handle is comfortable for both left- and right-handed cooks, while a full composite tang contributes to light weight and balance.
Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Shun knives draw on centuries of Japanese blade-making tradition. Each knife takes at least 100 individual steps, combining skilled craftsmanship with modern technology. The name Shun celebrates ingredients at their peak of freshness, flavor, and beauty, a philosophy that brings purpose to everyday preparation.
