Kai Shun Classic chef's knife

Beautiful and high-performance Japanese gyutoh chef's knife in damask steel with many uses. A good chef's knife is the cornerstone of your knife set and a must-have knife in any kitchen. It is often described as the kitchen's manual food processor, and is used to chop, cut and dice all types of ingredients. The blade is convex so that the knife can easily be "rocked" against the cutting board with a minimum of force.

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.
