An essential piece for any cutlery collection, the Shun Classic 8 inch Bread Knife slices through crusty or soft breads, as well as pastries and cakes. Serrated edge. Designed by Ken Onion. Sharpened at a 16 degree angle.

Ken Onion is the premier knife designer in the world. From an outside-the-kitchen perspective, Ken Onion observed that cooks come in all sizes, and not all are right-handed. A lot of cutlery is designed for the average height, right-handed cook. Very tall, short or left-handed cooks are often forced to compromise quality, craft or design to accommodate their needs. That’s why Ken Onion designed a line of Shun Classic Cutlery that is meant for short, tall, right-handed and left-handed users. His knives are also intended to reduce fatigue and promote comfort by creating handles that more closely match the shape of a hand and blades that glide easily while they cut. The result is a line of uniquely shaped cutlery that offers the cook more control, ease and comfort in the kitchen.
