Shun Premier 9" Bread Knife

The Shun Premier Bread Knife is an essential tool for any kitchen, designed to effortlessly slice through crusty artisan loaves or delicate breads without crushing or crumbling. Its razor-sharp, wide, “low frequency” serrations gently saw through bread, preserving texture and ensuring clean, even cuts. Unlike closely spaced sawtooth designs, this bread knife glides smoothly, making it ideal for cakes, pastries, and large fruits like melons. A must-have for bakers and bread enthusiasts, it enhances both prep and presentation for home cooks and professionals.

Handcrafted in Japan, the bread knife is part of Shun’s Premier line, inspired by ancient Japanese sword-making. Its VG-MAX “super steel” core delivers exceptional edge retention, while layered Damascus cladding provides stain resistance and durability. The blade’s hamon-like undulating line, formed where the steels meet, reflects traditional craftsmanship, and the hammered tsuchime finish reduces drag for smoother slicing. The ergonomic handle, with an embossed end cap, ensures a comfortable, balanced grip for fatigue-free use. Hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine edge.

With over 100 artisanal steps in its creation, this bread knife combines advanced materials with timeless elegance, making it a kitchen staple.
