The Story
Lovingly handcrafted in Japan, the full tang Kai Shun 20cm Chefs Knife has an individual character due to the damask design. A unique piece of art that combines craftsmanship, technology and design. Inspired by the ancient techniques of the Samurai swordsmiths. The VG-10 steel is extremely hard and highly resistant to corrosion (61 +/_1 HRC, 1.0% Carbon, 1.5% Cobalt). The convex blade profile in combination with the hand honing makes for an unrivalled sharpness that glides effortlessly through the toughest cuts.
The minimalist ebony PakkaWood is reinforced with high quality resin making it particularly robust and water-resistant (will not bend, warp, split or absorb water). The classic D-shape butt is a traditional Japanese style, ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the curve of the fingers when using a chef's pinch grip. It provides stability and precise control of the knife whether right or left-handed. Left-handers achieve control by resting their fingertips on the ridge.
Under UK law, this item can only be sold to people over the age of 18. ID will need to be shown upon delivery.
- Best sharpened with a whetstone (4000/8000 grit) at a 15 angle
- NSF Certified
- Do not clean in a dishwasher
- Wash by hand using a plastic brush with hot soapy water and hand dry immediately
