Shun Cutlery Classic Hollow Ground Slicing Knife, 9". DM0720

Description

A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this knife comfortably handles any kitchen slicing need from cakes and sandwiches to oranges and tomatoes. Featuring a blade measuring 9 inches in length, this tool finishes with a sharp point. Scalloped detailing along the knife’s cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering to its sides and maximize cutting efficiency. Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged 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. Product Description The Shun Classic 9-in. Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife's long, narrow blade makes a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the meat’s juices, and thus more of its flavor, inside the meat. The longer blade makes precise slices with a single stroke, while the narrower profile and hollow-ground indentations help the blade glide through the meat with less friction. The Shun Classic 9-in. Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife's blade is made of Shun’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX stainless steel, clad with 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel, for a premium blade of striking beauty that takes and holds an exquisitely sharp edge for an incredibly long time. Shun’s D-shaped PakkaWood handle offers comfort and control while cutting. Producing thin, beautiful, even slices is easy with the right knife: the Shun Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife. Upgrade any kitchen cutlery collection with a single purchase and make slicing beef roasts, pork roasts, turkey, ham and more, easier and more satisfying.
