If you bake or buy whole loaves of bread, a bread knife will be one of the most-used knives in your kitchen. Whether you love wonderfully crusty or delicately tender bread, the Shun Shiranami Bread Knife will be your loaf's new best friend, no matter what its texture. The key is Shun's razor-sharp, wide, “low frequency” serrations. Unlike a plain-edged knife, the serrations let you gently saw through the bread without crushing and with much less crumbing. Unlike sawtooth serrations that are spaced closer together, the Shun Shiranami Bread Knife's wide serrations will gently glide through the bread without tearing. This keeps the bread's texture intact and enhances eating pleasure. Cakes and pastries also benefit from the Shun Shiranami Bread Knife's smooth cutting capabilities.
Forged from Shun’s 71-layer Dual Core Damascus steel, the blade combines alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 stainless steels for exceptional cutting performance and edge retention. The flowing wave-inspired pattern reflects the series name, Shiranami, meaning “white-capped wave.” The Prussian blue jute micarta handle offers lasting durability, balance, and a secure grip. Elegant and expressive, this is the knife you will reach for every day.
