Shun Classic 9-in. Bread Knife

Shun Classic 9-in. Bread Knife : The 9" blade is long enough for slicing all types of bread, and the serrated edge cuts through heavy crusts smoothly without tearing the softer interior. About Shun Classic: Made in Japan, where kitchen cutlery is an artform, this cutlery is widely admired by professional chefs for its precision performance and cutting-edge design. The Damascus-style blade is forged of VG10 "super steel" clad in 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel for an incredibly sharp and long-lasting edge. The blade's distinctive moire pattern reflects the meticulous process of folding and hammering the layers together, ensuring superior strength. D-shaped Pakkawood handle fits the hand superbly for exceptional comfort and control. Stainless steel bolster enhances ergonomic performance. Dishwasher safe.

At first, i was kinda skeptical of spending over 100$ for a bread knife; but after years of using my old so-called bread knife, and smashing good fresh bread; i had to try something new - I already have a Chef and Santoku knife by Shun - and it works great; so i figured id give the BK a try ... after a couple of weeks of use--Wow! It works like a champ - slices all types of bread - fresh, old, hard crust, without smashing it ... its so sharp ...

Whatever you decide to make a slice through, this knife will glide through it with ease. It's perfectly balanced and sturdy to the grip. This is the third Shun knife in my collection, and I plan on more Shun purchases.

This super-sharp design slices through hard-crusted artisan breads with ease. The scalloped edge is perfect for a clean cut, whether you're tackling handmade bread or store-bought loaves. Just avoid plastic cutting boards and use the wooden boards. Highly recommended.
