Shun Classic 9-Inch Hollow Ground Slicing Knife

Shun Classic 9-Inch Hollow Ground Slicing Knife provides a dedicated shape for cutting portions from boneless roasts, cooked meat or fish. Long, controlled strokes help keep slices even and reduce the need to repeatedly saw through the same section.

At a glance

• Portioning and carving

  The slicing profile is useful for serving boneless meat in consistent portions and making deliberate, extended cuts. The blade also has hollow-ground indentations along its sides.

• 9-inch blade

  This 9-inch format helps define the working reach. Match it to your usual ingredients and leave room for the cutting stroke.

• Patterned blade

  Layered Damascus cladding gives the blade its flowing pattern.

• D-shaped Pakkawood

  The resin-treated wood handle has a D-shaped cross-section, a distinctive feature of the Classic family.

Find your fit

Match the blade to the width of your roast and the size of your board. For beef and other visibly grained cuts, plan the direction before making the first slice. Read our slicing knife guide for practical comparisons. See also cutting meat against the grain.

Care and storage

Wash by hand with mild detergent, then towel-dry the blade and handle before putting the knife away. Keep the edge protected in a suitable block, tray or guard. See our knife-care guide for a practical routine.
