Shun Classic Carving Knife

This carving knife features a narrower, longer blade and an upturned tip specifically designed for making clean, precise slices through roasts, hams, and poultry. Unlike a chef's knife, which is built for general chopping and dicing, this blade excels at creating thin, uniform portions without tearing the meat.

The 'D'-shaped handle is designed to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand, providing a secure, non-slip grip. This shape is particularly helpful for maintaining control and stability during the repetitive, long-stroke motions required for carving.

While the blade is corrosion-resistant, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use to protect the steel. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the Pakkawood handle and dull the fine edge of the blade.

Yes, Pakkawood is a high-quality, resin-impregnated wood that is highly resistant to moisture and heat. It offers the natural, warm feel of wood while providing the durability and longevity required for a professional-grade kitchen tool.

Because this knife uses high-performance VG-MAX steel, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality honing steel. Avoid using pull-through electric sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and may damage the delicate Damascus cladding or the edge geometry.
