ZWILLING - 1731 8-inch Carving Knife - Brown

The Shun Premier Blonde 9.5 in Slicing Knife is built for carving and slicing cooked meats. The long, narrow blade lets you cut each slice in one long stroke, with less friction and no sawing or tearing, so slices come out thin and even and more of the juices stay in the meat. It also handles large vegetables. The blade has a core of VG-MAX, Shun's proprietary stainless steel, clad in 68 layers of stainless Damascus (34 per side) that support the core and add stain resistance. The fine edge is hand-sharpened to 16 degrees per side, and the hammered tsuchime finish helps food release from the blade. The contoured blonde PakkaWood handle is resin-impregnated hardwood that resists moisture, finished with an embossed end cap with brass trim. Blade length 9.5 in (241 mm), 15 in overall, 7.3 oz. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan. Hand wash only; not dishwasher safe. Limited lifetime warranty.

The ultimate performance of a carbon steel cutting core meets the beauty and benefits of san mai stainless steel cladding in the Shun Narukami Chef’s Knife. If you swear by the performance of a carbon steel knife, this knife is for you. Narukami, which means “thunderbolt” in Japanese, has a striking look. It is designed for professionals and for those who appreciate the unique qualities of fine carbon steel cutlery. Like all carbon steels, Blue II requires additional care to prevent rust and corrosion from forming on the carbon steel core. Cleaning and drying immediately is key. Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge. This 8-inch chef’s knife will be the kitchen performer you will reach for every day for every task. From slicing to chiffonade, the contoured grip gives you complete, comfortable, and beautifully balanced cutting control.
