The Shun Classic Blonde Bread Knife works equally well on very soft breads and even pastries. Razor-sharp, these single-bevel serrations let you cut the perfect slice with ease. Don't ruin a fresh loaf of bread by squashing it beneath the blade of a dull knife. Instead, use the wide, low frequency serrations of the Shun Classic Blonde Bread Knife to simply glide through crusty or tender bread. The undulating serrations provide the power you need to gently saw through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior. After a chef's knife and a paring knife, some cooks say that the knife they most can't live without is their bread knife. If you're looking for a new bread knife, this blonde-handled version of Shun's Classic Bread Knife is a beautiful choice.<br /><br />The Shun Classic Blonde series features beautiful Damascus-clad blades with D-shaped PakkaWood handles in a light and beautiful natural wood tone. 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.
