Classic Ebony Bread Slicing Knife 9"

After a chef’s knife and a paring knife, many cooks consider a bread knife essential. The Shun Classic 9" Bread Knife is designed to handle everything from crusty artisan loaves to soft sandwich bread and delicate pastries, making it one of the most useful specialty knives in the kitchen.

Its wide serrations help it move cleanly through foods with a firm exterior and softer interior, while the slim, balanced profile keeps the knife comfortable in hand. Combined with Shun’s VG-MAX steel core, stainless Damascus cladding, and handcrafted construction, it brings together refined performance, lasting quality, and everyday versatility.

• Designed for clean slicing on crusty loaves, soft breads, and pastries
• 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
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
• D-shaped Pakkawood handle with an ebony-colored finish is comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria
• Full composite tang provides light weight and balanced handling
• Handcrafted in Japan
