Shun Classic Blonde 9″ Bread Knife

TheShun Classic Blonde 9″ Bread Knife is a decidedly western design that many cooks simply don’t want to do without. It’s incredibly capable at cuttling cleanly through tough-skinned and fibrous fruit and veg- not to mention a wide array of breads and other baked goods. Shun’s low frequency serrations in particular have a keen bite and smooth slice that can simply glide through crusty or tender breads, cakes and crusts. And it works equally well on tomatoes, mellon rinds, eggplant. ThisDamascus-type blade is beautiful and adds stainless properties, while the very hard VG-10 “super steel” cutting core holds an extremely sharp, professional edge. The Classic Blonde Series features light-colored PakkaWood handles for a striking new look; the traditional Japanese “D-shape” ensures all-day comfort. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the fine edge and long-term preservation of the handle. And like all Shun Classic blades, it includesfree lifetime sharpeningand is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
