Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Shun Classic 9-Inch Bread Knife
Customer Review: Fantastic knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves to cook, and has been slowly upgrading her cutlery from the 'bought as a set at Target' knives.
The shun knives as a whole are very well made and VERY sharp. I highly recommend them to anyone, and this knife is no exception. It slices through even the crustiest of breads with ease, without crushing it at all.
Description of Shun Classic 9-Inch Bread Knife
This 9-inch Shun Classic bread knife offers the typical serrated blade, but is unique in that, while narrower than a standard German knife, it's so sharp and precise, that it can produce thick or thin slices of even the most crusty loaves and hearty artisan breads without leaving a lot of crumbs or broken crusts in its wake.Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade creates minute air pockets that offer stick resistance, so food releases easier and prep time is reduced--plus it's rust-free. The ebony Pakka wood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a ???D??? shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSFA 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
