Kai Shun Classic Bread Knife 23cm

Description

Clean slices for every loaf.The Kai Shun Classic Bread Knife 23 cm is purpose-built for cutting bread without crushing or tearing. Its long serrated blade features wide, low-frequency serrations that bite cleanly through crusts while protecting soft interiors, giving you neat, even slices every time. From delicate pastries to dense sourdough and crusty artisan loaves, this knife handles them all with ease using a gentle sawing motion.Unlike straight-edged knives that can flatten fresh bread, the undulating serrations do the work for you. The result is smooth slicing with minimal effort and no ragged edges, whether the loaf is soft, firm, or freshly baked.Handcrafted in Japan, it takes more than 100 steps to make each Shun knife. The Shun Classic series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives beauty is function; razor-sharp blades offer top performance.Shun Classics proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel on each side (a total of 69 layers). Ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, corrosion-resistant, and beautiful to behold.Features:VG MAX hardened Japanese steel cutting core69-layer Damascus stainless steel blade constructionWide low-frequency serrations for clean bread slicingDouble bevelled 16 cutting angle on each sideBlade hardness 60 HRCHeritage finish blade that develops a natural patinaD-shaped ebony coloured PakkaWood handle for comfort and controlBlade length 23 cmHandcrafted in JapanNSF certified for commercial kitchen usePresented in an attractive gift boxLimited manufacturer warrantyAn essential knife for anyone who values perfectly sliced bread without crushing, tearing, or wasted crumbs.Read through ourShun Blogto find out more information about this top-end brand and the differences between their ranges.See all Chefs ComplementsShun Knives here.
