9½" Granton Slicing Knife - Shun Reserve
9½” Slicing Knife with Granton Edge
A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO YOUR TABLE
In addition to being strikingly beautiful, the Shun Reserve Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife offers you the very best in slicing performance. The long, narrow blade allows you to make a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the juices and more of the flavor trapped in the meat. The longer blade also lets you make precise slices with a single stroke, while the narrower profile and hollow-ground indentations help the blade glide through the meat with even less friction.
A BALANCED BLEND OF FORM & FUNCTION
Handcrafted for the discerning culinary knife user, the Shun Reserve line is a masterful blend of graceful beauty and impeccable performance. From the tip of its blade to its handle, nothing has been overlooked in the creation of these extraordinary kitchen tools. Ultra-premium SG2 “micro carbide” steel cutting core offers the highest level of performance with its extremely dense grain structure and purity which enable it to take and hold an exquisitely fine edge with unparalleled durability.
Thirty-two layers of nickel-stainless Damascus surround the hard SG2 cutting core, add beauty, and help food release from the blade. The weightier blade provides power for precision cutting. The full-tang construction and riveted handle give each knife a solid, first-class look and feel. Its western-style handle with contoured pommel provides cutting control; rounded and polished finish offers a luxurious feel and comfortable grip. The handle scales feature dark charcoal Pakkawood with crimson striations and an inlaid mosaic Samurai family crest. Shun Reserve offers the strength and perfectly balanced weight that Western-style knife lovers prefer; delivering ultimate performance, as well as being a pure pleasure to use.
AT THE PEAK OF PERFECTION
In Japan, “shun” (pronounced shoon) is the word used to describe local, seasonal food at the very peak of its flavor and freshness. Shun is a time—the exact moment—when a fruit has reached its perfect ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. Kai named their fine cutlery Shun to honor this tradition of seasonal, mindful eating and as a mark of their dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.
So now you know; just say, “Shoon” (rhymes with “moon”) for kitchen cutlery that’s designed to help keep your freshest ingredients at their very best.
