Tomatoes are notoriously difficult to slice. Home-grown vine ripened tomatoes are even more difficult. The thin skin of a tomato is surprisingly tough, yet the delicate flesh inside will tear to pieces if you just push down real hard with a dull knife. The secret is incredible sharpness plus serrations to work through the skin. This wonderful knife has both, and is great for slicing any delicate fruit or vegetable. Paper-thin slices are easy to achieve with the Shun Classic Tomato Knife.

Shun Classic knives are beautifully finished and constructed from only the finest materials: Stainless steel bolsters and buttcaps, Pakkawood resin handles, and VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel. The edge is hardened more than most knives, allowing for an extra sharp edge. The unique qualities of the steel keep the edge sharp without brittleness. The blade is clad with 16 layers of softer steel for durability, then etched to show the unique "damascus" finish. Shun Classic knives combine modern materials with classic design for truly masterful cutlery.
