Blending time-honored Japanese craftsmanship with modern culinary innovation, Shun brought premium Japanese cutlery into kitchens across North America. Part of the original Shun series, this slicing knife features a long, narrow blade for clean slices of meat and poultry, with a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, stainless Damascus cladding, and a traditional D-shaped Pakkawood handle with an ebony finish. Hollow-ground indentations help food release more easily from the blade.
