Kai Shun Classic Slicing Knife 22.5cm

The Shun Classic Slicing Knife can make food look delicious by enabling you to cut thin, even slices. The longer length, narrow blade, and Shun-sharp edge makes long, even slices without tearing or sawing. This kind of clean cut keeps more of the meat juices and thus more of the flavor inside the meat, rather than pooling on the cutting board. The blade means you can cut slices with a single, long stroke. The narrow profile and razor-sharp Shun edge lets the blade glide through meat with less friction, so each slice is perfect. Ideal for slicing a wide variety of meats, the Shun Classic Slicing Knife can also be used to cut larger vegetables.
The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. The razor-sharp blades offer top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel provides incredible edge retention. Blades are handcrafted of durable clad with Damascus stainless steel, ground and bead-blasted creating a flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to hold. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
