Kai Shun Classic damascus Chinese chef's knife 18cm blade

This 18cm Chinese chef's knife from KAI' s Shun Classic range is exceptionally well designed.

KAI Shun Classic knives are designed for elite chefs, as well as lovers of high-quality Japanese knives.

The blade of this knife 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 specific composition with a high concentration of carbon and cobalt) ensures long-lasting sturdiness, as well as particularly high corrosion resistance.

The blade has also been shaped to obtain a convex cutting edge, which can then be hand-sharpened to give 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. This knife is perfect for slicing vegetables and fresh herbs.

The pakka 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 particular "D" shape has been adapted to perfectly fit the shape 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 its refined aestheticism, with its unique and original grain pattern. It almost becomes a work of art, in the image of the samurai katanas of which it is the worthy descendant!

So, this knife will suit professional cooks as well as private individuals! In fact, it's the perfect blend of craftsmanship, technique and design.
