SHIUN 6802 — Japanese bread knife made of three-layer steel with a 210 mm blade. Kanetsugu, Japan

The Kanetsugu SHIUN 6802 is a bread knife with a harmonious design and a sharp serrated edge that delivers amazing results in slicing various types of bread and pastries, all while remaining affordable.

The Kanetsugu SHIUN 6802 Smoke Black bread knife combines hardened stainless steel, a durable and grippy Japanese oak handle, and a sharp, serrated edge for slicing through everything from crispy baguettes to delicate croissants.

The VG-10 Japanese steel used for the Kanetsugu SHIUN 6802 blade marks it as a mid- to high-quality product.

VG-10 steel maintains its edge for a long time, allowing you to slice a huge amount of bread with this excellent knife. The less you cut the board while slicing, the better for maintaining the sharpness of the cutting edge.

It requires barely any pressure to begin cutting, and once the blade penetrates, it leaves a clean cut with minimal crumbs.

Compared to slicing with regular knives, the difference is dramatic, and it's worth investing in one if you eat bread often and enjoy using good knives in the kitchen.
