Shun Shiranami 9" Bread Knife
Controlled Slicing Across a Full Loaf
The 9-inch blade provides enough length for broad boules, sandwich loaves, layer cakes, and larger pastries. Its wide serrations engage the surface cleanly, allowing the knife to slice with a controlled sawing motion rather than heavy downward force.
The Prussian blue jute micarta handle offers balance, durability, and a secure grip.

"A bread knife should get through the crust without crushing what is underneath. The wide serrations and long blade make this one controlled on both sturdy loaves and delicate baked goods."
