Shun Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife
Shun Classic’s narrow 8-inch carving blade slightly curves and gradually slopes to a piercingly sharp tip. The razor-sharp edge produces even slices of any desired width without crumbling, or damaging the meat. Although ideally suited to holiday ham or turkey, this knife will find itself being used throughout the year.Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knife’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty.-- Amy Arnold
