Kai Shun Classic Chinese chef's knife 18 cm

Chinese Chef's Knife is the Chinese's all-round knife and is characterized by the knife's wide blades which give the knife power and precision. Can be used for everything from shredding cabbage, cutting eggplant, melon and tomato or dividing into smaller pieces of meat. The wide blade is also ideal for scooping up prepared ingredients and transferring them to the pot or frying pan. The Chinese chef's knife should not be confused with the cleaver that has the same shape. This knife has a thinner blade that should not be used on bones, hard fruits, coconuts, etc. Then you should instead use a meat ax or a butcher knife.

The knife has a core of quality VG-MAX steel with a hardness of 61 HRC surrounded by 32 layers of damask steel that protects the hard core steel and gives the knife a beautiful pattern. Each Shun knife gets its unique and individual character by refining the natural beauty of the damask pattern. Therefore, each Shun knife is unmistakable and unique. The convex blade, together with the manual sharpening of each Shun knife, gives an incomparable sharpness that allows the knife to cut through even the hardest materials.

The handle is made of laminated Pakka wood which is ergonomically shaped and polished with a glossy finish. The cross section of the handle shows the traditional Japanese "chestnut" shape that fits perfectly in the hand. A bolster and steel end piece gives the knife a perfect balance and optimal feel.

The knife is perfect for both home cooks and professional kitchens.

Shun Classic is an exclusive knife series from KAI. Shun means "on top of perfection". This series of chef's knives is one of the most comprehensive series in damask steel worldwide and is much appreciated by top-class professionals as well as ambitious hobby chefs.
