KAI Shun Classic knives are made in Japan in the tradition of forging samurai swords in Damascus steel. The thin Kai blades sharpened to 15° provide unrivaled cutting finesse and limit the oxidation of food. VG MAX steel made from VG-10 steel with a very high carbon content (more than 1%) from the Shun Classic range guarantees high hardness of the blade (61 HRC) and sharpening that lasts longer. The work of 32-layer Damascus steel offers a particular aesthetic to the blade by highlighting the different layers according to their carbon content.

This sharpening finesse, twice as sharp as a classic knife, offers great precision in cutting, preserves the flavors of food and greatly limits oxidation, such as on apples, basil, etc. A resistant and pleasant handle in hand. This full tang knife has a handle that fits perfectly between the different materials. The stainless steel is finely polished and the Pakka composite wood offers a soft and pleasant grip.
