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. The full tang handle (the metal part of the blade goes down to the bottom of the handle) is made of Pakka, a veneer of wood and resin, pleasant to the touch, particularly strong and resistant to humidity. A thin, precise and resistant blade. The Shun Classic paring knife from Kai damask uses one of the best typically extremely hard Japanese steels. This great hardness is a guarantee that the sharpening will last over time and still allows it to be sharpened easily. It also makes it possible to produce very thin blades and especially a 15° grind. 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 is perfectly adjusted between the different materials. The stainless steel is finely polished and the Pakka composite wood offers a soft and pleasant grip. Pakka is perfectly resistant to humidity. The shape of the handle has studied ergonomics. Its chestnut shape fits naturally in the palm of the hand and fits well in the palm. Hand cleaning. Store carefully, protecting the blade.
