Shun Classic 8-1/4″ Offset Bread Knife DM0724

The Shun Classic 8-1/4″ Offset Bread Knife features an offset handle position that creates additional knuckle clearance and perfectly positions your hand for a more powerful and easier cut. The scalloped serrations will slice neatly into your loaf without skidding; no matter how crusty it is. You’ll also enjoy the way the knife glides through bread without shredding and with fewer crumbs. This knife works equally well on tender desserts such as angel food cake, enabling you to create beautiful, tear-free slices.

The Shun Cutlery Classic knife features a VG-Max “super” steel blade core clad with 34 folded layers per side of stainless Damascus steel. The blade is ground and bead blasted to reveal the beautiful flowing pattern of the Damascus. Each side is sharpened to a 16 degree angle. It features a D-shaped Ebony PakkaWood handle, which is resin-impregnated natural hardwood designed for moisture resistance and longevity. While the D-shaped handle is designed specifically for right-handed use, left-handed users may find it comfortable in hand as well. Shun does sell select left-hand specific handles in the reverse grip.
