Shun Classic Carving Knife & Meat Fork Set

Summary

This Japanese-crafted set is an elegant choice for carving meat and poultry at the table. The long-tined fork holds food securely in place while the supersharp knife carves thin, uniform slices. The handles are sculpted for a secure, comfortable grip.

• Two-piece set includes 9" Hollow-Ground slicing knife and matching stainless-steel carving fork.
• The knife's longer blade lets you make precise slices with a single stroke, and the narrower profile and hollow-ground indentations help the blade glide through meat with less friction.
• VG-MAX "super steel" blade is clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
• Exceedingly sharp cutting edge has a 16-degree angle for making cleaner cuts – which help keep more of the juices and flavor in the meat – and is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
• Durable PakkaWood handles resist moisture and have a D shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
• This NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens.
• Handcrafted in Japan.

Use & Care

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
