Shun Classic Hollow Ground Brisket Knife 12in Granton Damascus Slicer

The Shun Classic Hollow Ground 12” Brisket Knife is a masterfully crafted kitchen knife designed for cooks who demand precision, elegance, and performance when slicing large cuts of meat. Built with the legendary Shun Classic quality, this knife combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials to deliver a tool that performs as beautifully as it looks. Whether you’re working with smoked brisket, roast beef, or other sizable proteins, this slicer offers smooth, clean cuts that elevate every cooking experience.

At the heart of this knife is a 12” VG-MAX steel blade featuring a Granton edge that makes slicing effortless. The hollow-ground scallops along the blade reduce drag and prevent food from sticking, so each cut flows cleanly without tearing or crushing your meat. The Damascus finish, formed from 68 layers of stainless steel, not only enhances durability but also provides an eye-catching, hand-crafted appearance that reflects Shun’s commitment to artistry and quality. The blade is honed to a razor-sharp edge, making it ideal for precision slicing and creating consistent, professional results every time.

The full tang construction provides strength, balance, and control, giving you confidence with every cut. The blade extends fully into the handle, ensuring a secure feel and excellent stability when slicing through dense or tender meats. The ebony-colored Pakkawood handle is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, offering a secure grip and reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions. Its polished finish highlights the natural grain of the wood while resisting moisture and wear, combining beauty and practicality in a single, elegant design.

Included with the knife is a traditional wooden blade cover, or saya, which protects the edge when the knife is not in use. The saya not only safeguards the blade but also adds an extra element of Japanese-inspired design, making storage both safe and stylish. The 16.87” overall length and 11.6 oz. weight give the knife a commanding presence while remaining balanced and manageable for precise slicing. This combination of length, weight, and sharpness makes it perfect for handling large cuts with the care and finesse a quality meal deserves.

The Shun Classic Hollow Ground 12” Brisket Knife stands out as an essential tool for serious cooks who want the perfect blend of function, beauty, and longevity. Every detail, from the Damascus-clad blade to the Pakkawood handle, is designed to enhance control, comfort, and performance in the kitchen. It delivers a professional slicing experience that’s suitable for both home chefs and seasoned culinary enthusiasts.
