Classic - 9" Hollow Ground Slicer

Can the right knife really make food taste better? Yes. The Shun Classic 9-in. Hollow Ground Slicing Knife's long, narrow blade allows you to make a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the juices—and more of the flavor—in the meat. The longer blade lets you make precise slices with a single stroke, while the narrower profile and hollow-ground indentations help the blade glide through the meat with even less friction. Producing thin, beautiful, even slices of meat is not hard at all—when you have the right knife.

• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding each side (68 total) support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade
