Shun Premier 9.5 &quot; Slicing Knife - The right knife really can make food taste better. The Shun Premier Slicing knife&#039;s long  narrow blade enables you to make a cleaner cut  which helps keep more of the juices and more of the flavor trapped in the meat. The longer blade lets you make precise slices with a single stroke  while the narrower profile helps the blade glide through the meat with less friction. The Shun Premier Slicing knife is ideal when used to slice meats (or larger vegetables) against a cutting board.Product Features                Blade Length: 9.5 in.
