Shun DM0705 Classic 9in Bread Knife, Black

This is a beautifully crafted bread knife. Sure it cuts as well as any other if not better but it’s just part of my kitchen equipment and other Shun knives and it looks great and is a delight to use. It’s extravagant but it’s also super long lasting and functional. I hate to say it but YES I’d buy it again.

Uno de los mejores cuchillos estampados y terminados a mano en su tipo, sinónimo de calidad y poseedor de un filo extraordinario.

I would never have imagined that a bread knife (it is amazing with tomatoes as well) could cut like this; the proverbial knife through melted butter. I'm staggered.

Great knife worth the money. Check the Shin web site before buying. May be cheaper.

Shun makes an excellent product and the bread knife is the perfect example. It is extremely sharp and consistently cuts the perfect slice from sourdough to delicate fruit bread as long as the operator is up to the challenge. It would be helpful if they included a protective sleeve, but that is not their promise; superior performance is and that it fulfills with perfection.
