Shun Classic Bread Knife 23cm
A 230mm Shun Classic bread knife with wide serrations that cut crusty loaves without crushing the soft crumb.
The Shun Classic Bread Knife uses wide, undulating serrations rather than a straight edge. A gentle sawing motion takes it through a hard crust without tearing the tender interior.
The same edge works on very soft breads and pastries. Each slice comes away clean, with minimal ripping or squashing.
Features
- Low-Frequency Serrations – Wide, undulating teeth bite into crusts and glide through soft crumb.
- VG-MAX Core – Kai’s proprietary VG-MAX steel forms the cutting edge, hardened to 60 HRC.
- Damascus Cladding – 34 stainless Damascus layers each side are ground and bead-blasted to reveal a flowing pattern.
- 16° Hand-Sharpened Edge – Each side is sharpened by hand to 16° for a fine, clean cut.
- D-Shaped PakkaWood Handle – Ebony-toned PakkaWood fills the curl of the fingers for a secure grip. The D-shape suits right-handed users.
