Shun Shiranami 9" Bread Knife

Inspired by the power and movement of ocean waves, the Shun Shiranami series delivers exceptional sharpness, refined craftsmanship, and striking beauty in every cut. Available at Atlanta Grill Company, these handcrafted Japanese knives feature a stunning Damascus blade forged from 71 alternating layers of premium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels for outstanding edge retention, durability, and precision performance. The unique layered construction creates subtle micro-serrations over time, helping the blade stay sharper longer while reducing drag for smooth, effortless slicing. Paired with a waterproof resin-stabilized jute micarta handle and perfectly balanced full composite tang, Shiranami knives offer comfort, control, and confidence for both everyday prep and precision cutting tasks.
