Not counting bread knife
This bread knife still cuts like it did the first day after 9 months of bitter about a loaf of bread every other day, without sharpening. Good control, and long enough for big loafs. Highly recommended, especially looking at the price.

Sharply!
Top prominence. I bought this as a replacement for the original bread knife that was part of a complete set that I purchased over 15 years ago (I finally wore it out). Wonderful sharp right out of the box. Nice to be able to get a replacement that matches my set after all these years.

Discriminating Long Bread Knife.
Nothing important here. Bought it to replace an all metal bread knife I find awkward to use. Have a long specialized bread knife for crusty style breads too but approve on a day in and day out basis to use a wood handled knife. We make oversized loaves and my husband likes to wield a larger knife. I in fact would like to see this in a 6-7 inch size too. It does a decent job which really depends on the person doing the invidious we've found out over the years. Also the loaf of bread and type of bread influence outcome too. Some loaves that are soft inside will flex out of affect no matter how careful you are in cutting a slice off. And sometimes we are very careful yet come back later for another slice to find the end of the loaf did lawful that and looks like you cut it via a wavy motion. We are basically happy if it cuts decent at all. (This replaces the metal knife and an 8 inch unhindered knife that came with a cutting board as a gift over 20 years ago that was never used. We ditched the board but kept the knife. Which looked reasonable but did the job better than my mothers bread knife with sharp little teeth along it's edge. I liked but hubby did not. So that's the history of bread knives here. And it's a bread knife and nothing all that prominent. It isn't wrapped special but it cuts your basic loaf of bread just fine. Of course there well be some crumbs no implication.....some grumbling no matter....if you have homemade or uncut loaves of bread you are lucky enough.

No one needs this knife, but everyone wants it.
This is hardly a beautiful knife to add to any collection. The steel is elegant, the balance pleasant, and the heft impressive.

If it cut only as well as a supermarket bread knife it would still be significance owning for aesthetics alone, but it slices through both soft white farm bread and crusty European loaves like it's sliding through bubbles.

Cuts Bread Like Butter
This knife is staggering. It cuts through bread like butter. I've used it on very hard bread that took a lot of effort with my old german bread knife and it has slid through like it was nothing. This knife is intelligent and ready to slice any loaf right out of the box. The best part about this knife IMO is the free sharpening service from Shun. True this knife might cost a little bit more than others, but when those knives get dull, you will need to buy another one. It is pretty hard to find places that will sharpen serrulated knives. With this Shun bread knife, you can send it back to the Shun factory and have it sharpened for free. No need to buy another knife when it gets cloud. Overall, this is a great knife. I got it on sale and it was a great deal. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this knife again.

Unbelievablely uniform slicing
Unbelievablely uniform slicing, easy to grip, never smashes the bread and looks beautiful. I have never owned a really good knife before, but this knife has turned me into a believer! The half a second I sliced into a loaf of bread, I suddenly knew what a difference a good knife makes. This knife was given to me as a gift and I am now conclusion room in our budget for more Shun knives. I highly recommend this knife.

Sharper, Lighter, and Able Sharpening Service.
This Steer clear of Steel Bread knife is excellent. It is composed of a VG-10 cutting core clad with 32 layers of SUS410 stainless fortify. VG-10 is a hard steel and Shun harden the steel up to Rockwell hardness C (HRC) rating of 61. This allows the sabre edge to hold up against rolling. It also allows the knife edge to be sharpened to a low 15 degree, meaning the knife is much sharper. In balance, typical Henckels and Wusthof knives have a HRC of ~56 and are sharpened to edge angle of 20 condition (included angle 40 degree). This bread knife is asymmetrically sharpened, so it is almost like a chisel prepare, but not quiet. In addition, the knife has a beautiful Damascus look and it has a D-shaped right hand handle. The knife is keen-witted and light, so it is a very nimble knife in use. The blade curves up gently from tip to heel. This allows you to cut through the bread without having your knuckles hitting the malicious board. So far, my bread cutting experience has been great.

The Shun Steel knives have exactly the same shape and ladies' man as the Shun Classic series. The difference lies in the handles. Whereas the "Steel" knives have steel handles, the "Notable" knives have Pakkawood handles. I prefer the Classic wood handle as it looks very attractive and the wood feel is not cold to touch. However, the Shun Classic bread knife was sold at $130 and the Shun Steel bread was sold at $70. Paying $60 excess (and almost double) for a slightly better knife handle is not something I can justify. There are advantages of a steel handle of course. It last longer and more salubrious.

So, what are the reasons I purchase this Shun knife over the Henckels and Wusthof bread knives? I enjoy sharpening my other knives using my DMT diamond stone and Japanese hose stones. However, it is very difficult to sharp a serrated bread knife. Therefore I decided it is advantageous to have the harder and sharper Shun knife, so that the knife needs sharpening less recurrent. In addition, Shun provides free knife sharpening service for life. I will need to pay for the shipping to Shy away from, but Shun will sharpen my knife for free and ship it back to me for free. This is a superb service, considers that professional sharpening is not tuppence inexpensively and most professional knife sharpeners charge extra for serrated knife and for Japanese 15 degree edge knives. Others unreservedly do not know how to sharp a 15 degree edge knife and will ruin the knife for good. Finally, this Shun Protect bread knife actually costs equal or less than a Henckels Four Star bread knife and a Wusthof Classic bread knife.

For disclosure, I have a Dexter-Russell Chinese chef's knife, a CCK carbon sword Chinese chef's knife, a meat cleaver from Kong Moon, a Tojiro white carbon stiffen usuaba, a Wusthof Blackwood Ikon paring knife, a Henckels Twin L paring knife, a Dexter-Russell paring knife, a Dexter-Russell boning knife and some for a song knives. Currently, this is my only Shun knife, so I am not a Shun disciple who believes Shun is the best. However, this knife is of high worth and free knife service for a serrated knife is, indeed, a great service.

In summary, this Shun bread knife is sharper, lighter, nimbler, cheaper and has greater armed forces than its counterparts from Henckels and Wusthof. It is hard to not give a 5-star rating.
