Knife set of 4 Shun Classic Japanese steak knives, 12.5cm blades

This set of 4 Japanese steak knives from KAI's Shun Classic range is exceptionally well designed.

In fact, Shun Classic knives are designed for elite chefs and lovers of high-quality Japanese knives.

The blade of these knives is particularly sharp, thanks to the quality of its steel and the 32-layer damascus process (which mixes layers of hard and soft steel, giving the blade hardness and flexibility).

In addition, its VGMAX steel core (a special composition concentrated in carbon and cobalt) ensures long-lasting strength and particularly high corrosion resistance.

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

The handles are made of pakka, a noble material composed of compressed wood and resin. It is guaranteed to be antibacterial, resistant to temperature variations and water-resistant. Also, their particular "D" shape has been adapted to perfectly fit the anatomy of your hand, offering you 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.

Last but not least, we'd like to point out their refined, uncluttered aesthetics, with their unique, original grain pattern. They almost become works of art, in the image of the samurai katanas of which they are worthy descendants. They're perfect for updating your tableware.

Delivered in a small, streamlined box, these knives will suit both professional and private chefs! Indeed, they are proof of a perfect alliance between craftsmanship, technique and design.
