Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, Kai Shun classic and premier knives feature extra sharp Damascus style blades and comfortable handles that provide excellent support and control. Shun blades are designed using VG-MAX hardened Japanese steel cutting core that is enveloped with 34 ultra-thin layers of high carbon stainless steel. With a Rockwell hardness of 61, Kai Shun knives are extra strong with incredible hardness, allowing the blade to stay sharper for longer. The Premier range have beautifully hand-hammered blades to improve food release and are designed with walnut coloured pakka wood handles. The Classic range have D-shaped handles designed specifically for right or left-handed users with compressed pakka wood handles. Wasabi knives are made of corrosion resistant 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for superior sharpness and edge retention.
The blades are graze-finished for a beautiful, brushed-look. They are completed with a smooth, water resistant black polypropylene handle impregnated with bamboo powder, providing good grip and giving it a contemporary look and feel.
