Shun Classic Bread 9″

<p>After a chef's knife and a paring knife, some cooks say that the knife they most can't live without is their bread knife. It's a crime to ruin a fresh loaf of bread by smashing it beneath the blade of a dull knife. The wide, low frequency" serrations on the Shun Classic Bread Knife are not only razor-sharp, but they do a much better job slicing any type of bread than a straight-edged knife. The undulating serrations provide the power you need to gently saw through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior. And it works equally well on very soft breads and even pastries.</p><ul><li>Slice tender or crusty breads with no ripping, squashing, or tearing</li><li>Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting, single-bevel 16 edge</li><li>34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade</li><li>D-shaped ebony-finished Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria</li><li>Full composite tang for light weight and perfect balance</li><li>Handcrafted in Japan</li></ul>
