Shun Premier Pakkawood 9in Bread Knife VG-MAX Damascus Blade

For those who demand precision and durability in their kitchen tools, the Shun Premier Pakkawood Bread Knife stands as a top-tier choice. This knife is designed to effortlessly slice through even the crustiest loaves without compromising the soft interior. The secret lies in Shun's innovative "low frequency" serrations. Unlike traditional plain-edged knives that crush and tear, these serrations gently saw through bread with minimal crumbling, preserving the integrity of your loaf.

The Shun Premier Pakkawood Bread Knife features a razor-sharp 9” blade made from VG-MAX high-carbon stainless steel. This proprietary material is part of Shun's VG super steel line, recognized for its superior hardness and durability. The VG-MAX steel core is encased in 68 layers of Damascus cladding, providing not only remarkable strength but also a striking aesthetic. The blade's convex grind, honed to a precise 16-degree angle, ensures a keen edge that glides effortlessly through food.

A hallmark of this knife is its hammered tsuchime finish, a traditional Japanese technique that gives the blade a distinctive, handcrafted look. Beyond aesthetics, this hammered texture serves a functional purpose: it reduces drag and allows food to release more easily from the blade. This is particularly advantageous when working with sticky or moist ingredients, where smooth, precise cuts are essential.

The handle of the Shun Premier Pakkawood Bread Knife is crafted from walnut-finished Pakkawood, a material engineered for both beauty and functionality. Pakkawood is renowned for its durability and resistance to moisture, making it ideal for kitchen use. The handle’s contoured design ensures a comfortable grip, even during extended use, while the stainless steel guard and endcap provide balance and control. This combination of materials and craftsmanship results in a knife that feels as good in your hand as it looks on your counter.
