Shun Classic 9-inch Bread Knife (DM0705)
The Shun Classic 9-inch Bread Knife is for cooks who bake regularly or simply enjoy a slice of sourdough with breakfast. Its wide, low-frequency serrations do a much better job of slicing bread than a straight edge: they provide the bite to saw gently through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior, and they work equally well on very soft breads and pastries. The nine-inch blade supports long, full strokes, which reduces compression and keeps each slice clean. After a chef’s knife and a paring knife, a bread knife is one of the most valuable additions to a kitchen, and it shares the construction and handle of the entire Shun Classic line.
