SHOP CASE KNIVESCan the right knife really make food taste better? Yes. The Shun Classic 9” Hollow Ground Slicing Knife's long, narrow blade allows you to make a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the juices—and more of the flavor. The longer blade lets you make precise slices with a single stroke, while the narrower profile and hollow ground indentations help the blade glide through with even less friction. Producing thin, beautiful, even slices is not hard at all when you have the right knife.
9” blade is crafted of a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core that is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge. 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade. 14.5" overall for perfect balance..
D-shaped Ebony Pakkawood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; it’s durable, beautiful, and won’t harbor bacteria. Full composite tang for light weight and perfect balance. Handcrafted in Japan to exacting standards. Choose the Shun Classic Slicing Knife from SMKW!
