Kai Shun Classic damascus chef's knife 20cm with granton edgeblade

This 20 cm Japanese chef knife from KAI' s Shun Classic range is exceptionally well designed!

KAI Shun Classic knives are designed for elite chefs and lovers of high-quality Japanese knives!

The blade of this knife is particularly sharp thanks to the quality of the steel used and the 32-layer damascus process (mixing layers of hard and soft steel to give the blade hardness and flexibility).

In addition, its VGMAX steel core (a specific composition concentrated in carbon and cobalt) ensures long-lasting strength and particularly high corrosion resistance. What's more, thanks to the micro-bubbles of air created during cutting, you'll have no trouble cutting clean slices.

The blade has also been worked and shaped to obtain a convex cutting edge, and then hand-sharpened to give you a remarkable cut. What's more, it achieves a strength of around 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale, so you'll need to sharpen it far less often.

The pakka wood handle is a noble material made from compressed wood and resin. It is guaranteed to be antibacterial, resistant to temperature variations and waterproof. Also, its distinctive "D" shape has been adapted to perfectly fit your hand, offering ergonomics and less fatigue during prolonged use. What's more, it represents the ideal blend of authenticity, with its dark wood, and practicality, with its resin enhancing its hygienic aspect.

Finally, we can point to its sleek, elegant aesthetic, with its unique grain pattern. It almost becomes a work of art, in the image of the samurai katanas of which it is the worthy descendant.

It's a knife that's equally at home in the kitchen! In fact, it's the perfect blend of craftsmanship, technique and design.
