Shun Classic Bread Knife

When a loaf leaves the oven, you want a knife that respects the crumb. The Shun Classic Bread Knife is engineered to glide through crusts without tearing or crushing, delivering bakery-quality slices in your own kitchen.

Engineered for perfect bread slicing

Wide, low-frequency serrations are razor-sharp and designed to cut every type of bread. The undulating serrations provide the power you need to gently saw through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior, and they work equally well on very soft breads and pastries.

• Undulating serrations offer controlled, smooth cutting for crusty and soft breads alike
• VG-MAX cutting core is wear- and corrosion-resistant, with a fine grain to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding per side (68 total) support the core, enhance stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
• D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and bacteria-resistant
• Full composite tang contributes to light weight and perfect balance
• Handcrafted in Japan — a testament to timeless craftsmanship and modern performance

Whether you’re slicing a crusty boule or a soft brioche, this knife delivers precise, even slices with no ripping or squashing. Its enduring sharpness, corrosion resistance, and elegant balance make it a standout tool in any kitchen.
