Knife set of 3 Kai Shun Classic Damascus japanese knives

Discover the quality of Kai Shun Classic kitchen knives with this set designed to make cutting easier, whether you're a professional chef or an amateur cooking at home.

Here's the composition of the set:

- 1 9cm paring knife: a small, handy knife for cutting small fruits and vegetables with precision.

- 1 15cm utility knife: an ideal knife for cutting larger fruits and vegetables with precision and ease. As it is long for a knife of this model, you can use it to cut boneless cuts of meat.

- 1 18cm Santoku knife: this is the equivalent of the chef's knife, but in Japanese form. It can be used to cut almost any kind of food, from vegetables to meats, herbs... It's an all-purpose knife that's also very practical thanks to its curved blade, which creates a natural rocking motion for intuitive cutting.

The knives :

The blade of Shun Classic knives has a core of VG-MAX steel: one of the finest steels in the VG series. It is based on the VG10 alloy, to which carbon has been added for hardness, and chromium for resistance to oxidation. This gives it a hardness index of 61+-1 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This steel also features cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium, for a result that is both tough and durable, with a very fine grain that can be sharpened precisely for long-lasting cutting performance. This core is then enveloped in 32 layers of damascus to protect it and balance the alloy's ratio of strength to flexibility, for a hard knife that will be less brittle when used. One of the most important features is hand-sharpening, for a high-end finish and a sharp edge.

Handles are made from pakkawood, a composite material combining laminated wood and resin, all heat-compressed. It is reputed to be antibacterial, resistant to temperature variations and water and humidity resistant.

Also, their particular "D" shape has been adapted to perfectly fit the anatomy of your palm, helping to reduce fatigue during prolonged use. What's more, it represents the ideal blend of authenticity, with its dark laminated wood, and practicality, with its hygienic resin.

Last but not least, we'd like to mention their refined design, with unique wood-like veins. They are in the image of the samurai's katanas, of which they are worthy descendants.

The knives are available in a dark wood box, perfect as a gift for a chef or for yourself.
