Shun Premier Bread Knife 230mm
$150 / ¥22,000

The Shun Premier Bread Knife elevates a humble tool into something extraordinary. The VG-MAX steel serrations are far sharper than Western bread knives, cutting through crusty sourdough without crushing the crumb. The tsuchime (hammered) Damascus finish and walnut-colored pakkawood handle make it as beautiful as any knife in the Premier line. Proof that even a bread knife deserves to be special.
