Shun Kaji 9" Bread Knife
From our premium Kaji line by Shun, this bread knife slices cleanly through a crusty loaf without mashing its soft interior. Handcrafted in Japan, the strong, razor-sharp blade is created through a blend of new technology and centuries-old handcrafting traditions. Blade is constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel. Inspired by centuries-old samurai sword-making techniques, the blade's construction creates a supersharp cutting edge. Long, serrated blade cuts easily through bread crusts to create uniform slices. Handle is made of moisture-resistant, resin-infused PakkaWood, shaped for comfort and control. This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Amazing knife
July 4, 2012
This knife has amazing feel and balance. I'm completely sold on the Shun Kaji line -- this is the 5th shun knife I have purchased. Feels great in the hand, cuts like a dream, easy to clean. I use this knife for cutting bread but also the 9" blade is great for cutting watermelon and pineapple.
Pros: Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Size, Sharpness, Weight

What's there not to love?
August 18, 2010
The headline says it all. These knives have good "weight" and good "balance". This is the second Shun knife I own -- the other is the chef's knife. I'm slowly replacing my old knives (more than 40 years old) with these. What a difference 40 years makes in knife technology!

I just purchased it today and brought it home and immediatly started slicing bread with this one and with my old one to compare and I couldn't beleive the difference! It hardly pulled a single crumb and was effortless. Very sharp, be careful!

The second Kaji Shun knife I have purchased
November 4, 2008
I love this knife. I also have the Santoku knife. I love they way they handle. I do not use any of my other knives. These are definitely worth it.
