Kai Shun Classic damascus Utility knife, 10cm blade

The KAI Shun Classic Universal knife is perfect for preparing vegetables!

KAI Shun Classic knives are designed for professionals and enthusiasts of high-quality Japanese knives. They can be adapted to suit every taste!

First of all, the blade of this knife is particularly sharp thanks to the quality of its steel and its 32-layer damascus: there's a mix of hard and soft steel layers that gives hardness and flexibility to the blade.

In addition, its central core is made of VGMAX steel, a specific composition concentrated in carbon and cobalt. This material ensures long-lasting strength and resistance to corrosion.

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

The pakka handle is a noble material made from hot-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 a comfortable grip for long-term 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 mention its refined, uncluttered look, with its unique grain pattern, in the image of the samurai katanas from which it is a worthy descendant.

This knife is not dishwasher-safe. It should be washed by hand and kept dry.

So this knife is just as suitable for professional cooks as it is for home use! In fact, it's the perfect blend of craftsmanship, technique and design.
