Shun Classic Blonde 9″ Bread Knife

The Shun Classic Blonde Bread 9″ (DM0705W) knife features a serrated edge and is able to cut both soft and crusty breads without crushing or tearing. The serrations form dozens of small individual cutting edges that allow the knife to cut cleanly in either direction without the use of excessive pressure. Because only the tips of each of the serrations comes in contact with a cutting board or other surface, the points experience the majority of the wear while leaving the inner scalloped edges sharp for many years. In addition to slicing bread, the bread knife is also great for cutting watermelon and even tomatoes and other tough skinned but soft fleshed vegetables and fruits. Remember to use it in long strokes to best take advantage of its length. A kitchen essential.

Shun Classic Blonde is everything you love about the venerable Shun Classic series, but with a beautiful blonde Pakkawood handle. Crafted to exactly the same standards as its sister line, the Shun Classic Blonde knives feature gorgeous Damascus clad blades of layered stainless steel around a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, offering maximum cutting performance, strength, corrosion resistance, and of course a razor-sharp 16° edge. These handcrafted knife are design with a full composite tang so each Classic remains lightweight, yet perfectly balanced. Finished off with a D-shaped Blonde Pakkawood handle, the Shun Classics are comfortable and offer a secure, traditional Japanese grip.

The Shun Classic 9″ Bread Knife is also available with a classic black handle.
