Shun Knives

Shun Classic 8 in. Off Set Bread Knife

A bread knife is simply a slicing knife that's serrated to saw through tough, crusty breads without crushing the delicate textures beneath. The Shun Offset Bread Knife is also 'offset' which means that the blade is cranked down an inch or so from the centerline of the handle. This allows you to cut all the way to the cutting board with much more ease than is possible in a straight knife, maintaining an optimal slicing angle the entire way. Shun Classic knives are beautifully finished and constructed from only the finest materials: Stainless steel bolsters and buttcaps, Pakkawood resin handles, and VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel. The edge is hardened more than most knives, allowing for an extra sharp edge. The unique qualities of the steel keep the edge sharp without brittleness. The blade is clad with 16 layers of softer steel for durability, then etched to show the unique "damascus" finish. Shun Classic knives combine modern materials with classic design for truly masterful cutlery. Shun DM0724

Shun Ken Onion Series 7 inch Cleaver

View with block Shun DM0518

This is the most unusual and amazing kitchen knife we've ever seen. Designed by famed knife master Ken Onion, the handle is built to be comfortable and easy to grip for even the smallest hands. It's honestly the most comfortable kitchen knife we've ever held. The curved bolster locks into your thumb and forefinger for a positive grip that's easy to control. The blade has the same curved belly as a traditional chef's knife, but the curved back reduces weight without compromising strength. It's made from the amazing VG-10 super steel, which has better edge-holding capacity than other steels. Laminiated with softer steels for strength, and etched to produce the beautiful pattern you can see, this is truly a unique knife. The final attention to detail is the hardwood display stand, which protects the knife during storage and shows off its best attributes as well. Since the curved bolster prevents this knife from safely being stored in a standard knife block, the stand provides a convenient and accessible way to store and display your knife.
