Shun Classic 9-inch Hollow-Ground Slicing Kitchen Knife DM0720

Shun Classic 9-Inch Hollow Ground Slicing Knife. DM0720. Slicing Knives. Shun Classic knives combine traditional Japanese style with the superb performance of Damascus steel and the elegance of ebony PakkaWood handles. Damascus steel blades are known for being tough and resistant to shattering, as well as their capability of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge. Pakkawood is constructed of carefully selected foreign and domestic hardwood veneers which undergo a process that creates multiple fused layers of treated hardwoods, making a weather, bacteria and moisture resistant handle that is dimensionally stable. Shun gives you better control over slicing with the 9-inch blade on this slicing knife. The hollow ground design allows air to enter between the blade and the food, creating a swifter, no-stick slice, and the balance point between the handle and blade enhances precision. This knife features full-tang construction for added strength and balance. The unique combination of a VG-10 stainless steel cutting core and 32 layers of Damascus steel creates an incredibly sharp, strong blade with unmatched edge retention. The D-shaped handle is designed to fit perfectly into the curve of your grip for a comfortable hold, and the stainless steel accents add a unique finishing touch. Each Shun Classic blade features the Shun logo emblazoned onto the side, and should be hand washed to preserve the quality.
