Shun Classic 9-Inch Slicing Knife

Amazon.com

A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this durable knife comfortably handles any slicing need from salad-top tomatoes to gratin’s potatoes. Featuring a long narrow blade, measuring 9 inches in length, the precision-forged steel offers reliable strength and holds its sharpness longer resulting in less maintenance.

Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are created in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
