Product Description:
A serrated bread knife with the added bonus of an offset handle for better leverage, this 8-inch Shun Classic will leave behind few crumbs as it thinly slices even the most delicate breads, while being so sharp, hearty loaves will seem to cut like--butter!

Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of high-carbon stainless, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping unprecedented by its competitors. Imagine, a knife made the same way as ancient Samurai swords, handcrafted still today. Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening. The wavy, Damascus-look pattern on the blade offers stick resistance, reducing prep--plus it's rust-free. The Alton Angle, a design contribution of cookbook author and celebrity chef Alton Brown, provides more finger and knuckle clearance than a standard, straight knife allows while cutting and slicing. The 10-degree angle at the bolster also provides extra leverage to improve control and efficiency, particularly useful with smaller knives. The ebony Pakkawood handle, made of a durable white birch wood and resin combination, has a unique curved shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens.

I like these knives, so I naturally had to have this bread knife.. It is as good as the all the other knives in this style from Shun. They are the only knives I use in my kitchen. They fit my hand and they are beautiful.

Fantastic Bread Knife

This bread knife is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at. The offset handle keeps your knuckles off the cutting board and the incredibly sharp serrated Shun blade slices through bread like butter. I have four Shun knives in my cutlery set and all of them perform like a Shun knife should. Don’t hesitate to buy this knife; it is a little pricey but well worth the money.

I have several of the Shun Classic knives and each arrived ready to use without any sharpening. They are balanced very well. The D-shape handles make for a comfortable grip, although I'm not sure if left-handed people would have an issue with it. The folded steel blade makes these knives look as good as they perform.

What our Kitchen Experts Say
Remember never to store good bakery bread in plastic bags- it will ruin the crust. Instead, store in a paper bag at room temperature. If you don't finish it within a day or two, slice and put in the freezer for the next time you want toast for breakfast.
