Shun Kanso 9" Bread Knife

Do you bake or buy whole loaves of bread? Then this will be one of the most-used knives in your kitchen. The Shun Kanso Bread Knife cuts through bread quickly and easily, whether it's crusty or tender—and with less crumbing. The secret is our wide serrations. Kanso's wide, undulating serrations gently glide through bread so there's less tearing. Cakes and pastries benefit from the Shun Kanso Bread Knife's smooth cutting capabilities, too.
