About the shape - Bread is the cornerstone of civilization, a noble food worthy of its own family of knife. Rather than destroy the beautiful bread that you've just baked or bought, that gorgeous hunk of gluten deserves to be sliced with the finest of serrations. This blade is razor-sharp even by regular knife standards, and will have no issue zipping through thousands of hearty loaves.
The scalloped serrations on this blade allow it to stay sharp longer, and make a smoother cut with fewer crumbs. The offset grip is ideal for anyone working on the line in a sandwich spot or a diner, as it allows for easier and more comfortable cutting.
About Shun - Shun Classic knives were one of the first commercially available Japanese knives available outside of Japan. Their popularity lies in their ruggedness and good looks. The blades are made with VG10 stainless steel clad with softer Damascus look steel. The Pakka wood ‘D’ shaped handles are very popular.
