The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 68 layers of Damascus stainless steel - and near the edge, where the steels meet, an undulating line forms that echoes the hamon of a traditionally tempered samurai sword. The hammered tsuchime finish creates a series of hollow-ground cavities along the blade that reduce drag and help food release cleanly. The slicing knife's long, narrow profile minimises surface contact with the meat, reducing friction and delivering thinner, more even slices than a chef's knife ever could. The contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood® handle nestles comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and a premium finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32398085324878,"sku":"TDM0704","price":231.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_51860bb1-7bbc-420e-822c-e90adc35bfe5.jpg?v=1614918886","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/shun-premier-slicing-knife-241mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
