The Science of a Clean Cut
A clean slice isn't just about presentation — it actually makes food taste better. By cutting without tearing, the Shun Classic Slicing Knife keeps more of the meat's natural juices inside each slice rather than losing them to the board. The long, narrow blade profile reduces friction as it passes through the meat, while the razor-sharp VG-MAX edge does the work with minimal effort. The 32-layer Damascus cladding is bead-blasted to reveal its flowing wave-like pattern, and the ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle provides a secure, balanced grip through every stroke.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand wash only — never dishwasher
- Dry immediately after washing
- Hone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge
- Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
- Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
