Shun Kazahana 9" Serrated Bread Knife

Shun Kazahana Bread Knife cuts through bread quickly and easily, whether they're crusty or tender, and with less crumbing. The secret is our wide serrations. Instead of smaller "sawtooth serrations," Kanso's wide, undulating serrations gently glide through bread so there's less tearing and less crumbing. Cakes and pastries benefit from the Shun Kanso Bread Knife's smooth cutting capabilities, too!

Shun – Japan's leading blade manufacturer – has created an exclusive line of kitchen knives that combine high-performance blades with stunning polished finishes. Handcrafted in Japan, the full-tang blades are laser cut of high-carbon vanadium stainless-steel to maintain their razor-sharp edges longer than traditional blades. Gently curved PakkaWood handles feel especially balanced in hand, with rivets that secure the blade for added strength.

Yes, the Shun Kazahana Bread Knife cuts through bread quickly and easily, whether it's crusty or tender. But it’s also great for slicing melons, tomatoes, even large cuts of meat like brisket or roasts. The secret is our wide, undulating serrations that gently glide through so there's less tearing. In Japanese, "Kazahana" means "Snow that flickers like petals dancing in a clear sky," much like the finish on its beautiful satin finish blade.
