CREATE THIN, BEAUTIFUL SLICES EVERY TIME

The Shun Slicing Knife can make food look delicious by enabling you to cut thin, even slices. But it can actually make food taste better, too. With the Shun Slicing Knife’s longer length, narrower blade, and Shun-sharp edge you can make long, even slices without tearing or sawing. This kind of clean cut keeps more of the meat juices—and thus more of the flavor—inside the meat, rather than pooling on the cutting board. The Shun Premier Slicing Knife’s 9 ½-inch blade means you can cut slices with a single, long stroke. The narrow profile and razor-sharp Shun edge let the blade glide through the meat with less friction so each slice is perfect. Ideal for slicing a wide variety of meats, the Shun Slicing Knife can also be used to cut larger vegetables.

The Shun Premier Slicing Knife is part of the beautiful Shun Classic line, which calls to mind the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. The Shun Classic Slicing Knife is part of the Shun Classic line of tasteful and contemporary cutlery. The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. 

  • Long, narrow blade for thin, even slices of meat with a single stroke.

Shun Classic

Born of the ancient Samurai sword making tradition and hand-finished for precision and beauty, Shun Classic is the ideal line for anyone making their first foray into the Japanese knife market.

High Quality Steel

Shun Classic knives boast a cutting-edge VG-MAX core, the newest addition to the VG line of "super steels." This advanced material is highly resistant to wear and corrosion while maintaining an exceptionally sharp edge. The knife's core is supported and protected by a stunning Damascus cladding consisting of 34 micro layers, which not only enhances its appearance but also provides additional strength and durability.

Outstanding Sharpness

Shun knives excel with thinner, lighter, and sharper blades. The 16° cutting angle per side (32° comprehensive) achieves outstanding sharpness and accuracy, enhancing your cutting efficiency and longevity.

Traditional Techniques

Showcasing traditional handcrafting techniques. These knives feature a striking hamon, an alluring wavy line where the different steels meet. The blades are meticulously ground to a quick taper edge, allowing for swift and efficient food movement.

PakkaWood Handle

All Classic knives feature a robust and moisture-resistant handle made from Ebony Pakkawood, a premium resin-impregnated hardwood. Its contoured design offers a comfortable and secure grip for both right-handed and left-handed users. The handle's end cap adds balance and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the integrated tang of the knife ensures stability and balance during use.
