Kai Shun Bread Knife 23cm – Precision-Cut Damascus Blade for Clean Slicing
The Kai Shun Bread Knife 23cm is a professional-grade kitchen knife designed for effortless slicing through bread, pastries, and delicate baked goods. Its 23cm blade length provides full coverage for standard loaves and rolls.
Damascus steel blade delivers exceptional edge retention and long-lasting sharpness
Wave-style serrated edge cuts through crust without crushing the soft interior
Pakka wood handle offers a comfortable, secure grip even during extended use
61 HRC hardness rating ensures the blade maintains its edge over time
What Sets the Kai Shun Bread Knife Apart
The Shun series combines traditional Japanese knife-making craftsmanship with modern performance. The Damascus steel construction provides both durability and a distinctive visual pattern, while the wave serration is specifically engineered for bread — cutting cleanly through the crust and preserving the crumb structure.
Ideal for...
Home bakers, professional kitchen staff, and anyone who regularly prepares fresh bread, pastries, or cake. The 23cm blade suits standard loaf sizes and is equally effective for slicing baguettes, sandwich rolls, and soft baked goods.
Application of the Kai Shun Bread Knife
Position the loaf on a stable cutting surface
Use a gentle sawing motion — let the wave serration do the work
Cut from heel to tip in one smooth stroke for clean slices
Clean the blade by hand and store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip

The blade is made of Damascus steel with a 61 HRC hardness rating. Damascus steel provides excellent edge retention and long-lasting sharpness, meaning fewer re-sharpening cycles compared to standard stainless steel.
The Pakka wood handle is designed for an ambidextrous grip. The wave serrated edge performs equally well for both left- and right-handed cutting motions.
No, the Kai Shun Bread Knife 23cm is sold without a knife block. It can be stored in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a blade guard for protection.
Hand-wash the knife with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high-pressure cycle and harsh detergents can damage the Damascus steel edge and the Pakka wood handle over time.
Kai provides a 24-month manufacturer warranty on this product, covering defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use.
