Select a product to estimate shipping.The Shun Classic 9-inch Hollow Ground Slicing Knife is a specialized kitchen tool designed with a long, thin blade for effortlessly slicing through large cuts of meat without sawing. Create beautifully thin and even slices of steak, brisket, chicken and more. Hollow ground indentations reduce friction while cutting, making it easier to glide through food. As part of the pioneering Classic Series, the first Japanese cutlery line introduced to the United States, this long carving knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Featuring a VG-MAX steel core and 68 layers of Damascus cladding, this Shun carving knife offers exceptional sharpness with a precise 16-degree edge. The D-shaped Pakkawood handle ensures a comfortable, secure grip for both left and right-handed users. Supported by free sharpening and honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Classic Hollow Ground Slicing Knife embodies centuries of knife-making expertise and a commitment to superior quality.
A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this knife comfortably handles any kitchen slicing need from cakes and sandwiches to oranges and tomatoes. Featuring a blade measuring 9 inches in length, this tool finishes with a sharp point. Scalloped detailing along the knifes cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering to its sides and maximize cutting efficiency.
Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the knifes aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold

What makes Shun worth the upgrade?
Shun knives are handcrafted in Japan with premium steel such as VG-MAX. Extra sharp out of the box, they stay sharp longer and deliver unmatched precision. Shun knives are more than a tool, they’re a lifelong cooking experience.
How should I care for my Shun knife?
Always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Never put your Shun knife in the dishwasher. Use a soft wood cutting board like Hinoki to protect your knife edge when cutting. Do not use Shun for chopping through bone or frozen ingredients.
What is the proper cutting technique for a Shun?
Use a locomotive motion when cutting - move the blade forward or back instead of pressing straight down. This lets the blade do the work, reduces fatigue, and helps keep your Shun in top condition.
How often should I sharpen my knife?
Notice your Shun losing its edge? Hone weekly to re-align the blade. If honing no longer works, send it in for free sharpening or follow our online tutorials to hone and sharpen at home.
What’s the correct way to pronounce Shun?
Say 'Shoon' (rhymes with moon). Shun is the Japanese concept of enjoying food at its peak. We honor this tradition by crafting fine cutlery that’s always at the peak of its perfection.
