Shun Premier Slicing Knife, 9-1/2-Inch
A useful addition to any cutlery collection, this slicing knife by Shun features a sloping blade measuring 9-1/2 inches in length with a piercing tip. The slicing knife works well for cutting a generously sized ham into thin, even slices. It can also be used for slicing roasts, poultry, smoked salmon, and other large cuts of meat. It even works well for vegetables. Overall, the knife measures 14-1/2 by 4/5 by 1-1/2 inches.As part of Shun's Premier line, the knife features a VG10 steel blade, clad with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, then beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision. Its hand-hammered finish not only adds intriguing visual appeal, but it also creates a hollow-ground surface, which reduces knife-drag when cutting and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The knife also comes equipped with a premium Pakkawood handle in a walnut finish, which offers a comfortable, secure grip. As a sleek and stylish finishing touch, Shun embossed its logo on the end cap of the knife's handle. The high-quality knife can safely go in the dishwasher, but for best results, washing it by hand and letting it air dry is recommended. The knife carries a limited lifetime warranty.
