Shun Classic 12-inch Hollow Ground Brisket Slicer (DM0778)
For the dedicated pitmaster or culinary professional tasked with carving large-format proteins, the Shun Classic 12-inch Hollow Ground Brisket Knife (DM0778) offers an exceptional combination of length, precision, and specialized design. At 12 inches, the narrow blade is engineered specifically for single-pass slicing. This uninterrupted motion is crucial for preserving the natural juices and structural integrity of delicate cuts like smoked brisket, roasted turkey, or prime rib, eliminating the tearing and shredding often caused by a repetitive sawing motion. The blade features a series of hollow-ground indentations (often referred to as a Granton edge) that create microscopic air pockets during the cut, significantly reducing friction and preventing dense meats from adhering to the steel. Unlike the core Shun Classic line which utilizes a clad VG-MAX steel, this specialized slicer is deliberately forged from a single layer of high-performance Japanese AUS8A stainless steel. This specific alloy is chosen for its ideal balance of sharpness, stain resistance, and the necessary flexibility required in a long carving blade, preventing the brittleness that can sometimes occur in extremely hard steels of this length. The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle per side, while the rounded tip adds safety and prevents accidental puncturing of the meat or foil wraps. Balancing the blade is a robust, full-tang construction secured by rivets within an ebony-finished PakkaWood® handle. The traditional Japanese D-shape provides a secure, comfortable grip that reduces fatigue during high-volume carving. To ensure safe storage and transport to events or catering jobs, the knife includes a fitted wooden saya (sheath). Learn More$259.95 -
Shun Classic Chef Knife 10-inch (254mm)
Maximum Prep Velocity: The 10-Inch Workhorse for High-Volume Kitchens For the professional chef or the serious home cook handling large-scale production, the Shun Classic 10-inch (254mm) Chef's Knife is a significant upgrade in efficiency. While the 8-inch blade is a standard entry point, the 10-inch DM0707 model provides the additional surface area and leverage required to power through heavy cases of mirepoix, large proteins, and dense root vegetables without fatigue. At the core of this blade is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX stainless steel, a high-performance alloy that pushes the limits of edge retention and corrosion resistance. This core is supported by 68 total layers of Damascus cladding (34 per side), which not only creates a stunning aesthetic but adds essential structural integrity and facilitates food release. The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree double-bevel edge, ensuring it glides through delicate herbs as easily as it breaks down a primal cut. The D-shaped Ebony Pakkawood handle is designed for ergonomic control, tucking firmly into the palm to prevent rolling during heavy use. For taller cooks or those accustomed to the long-stroke slicing motion of a professional line, this 10-inch variation offers a noticeable increase in speed. More food fits under the blade per cut, reducing total prep time and allowing you to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout long shifts. This isn't just a larger knife; it is a force multiplier for your culinary workflow. Learn More$219.95
