Shun DM0720 Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9-Inch
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this knife comfortably handles any kitchen slicing need from cakes and sandwiches to oranges and tomatoes. Featuring a blade measuring 9 inches in length, this tool finishes with a sharp point. Scalloped detailing along the knife’s cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering to its sides and maximize cutting efficiency.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 or damaging 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
