KAI Shun Santoku Knife 5.5" 14cm Damascus

Blade

VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade's core right 
up to its edge. Sheathed in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the knife embodies a peerless 
anatomy paired with a resilient blade that is both hard and flexible at once due to its 
hybrid composition. The Shun Classic blades have a double-sided edge.

Handle

The slim handle made of durable pakkawood is fashioned in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. High quality resins added to the wood make the material particularly resilient and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and secure grip whilst cutting, thanks to a small rim on its right side. The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.

Shun Series

The Shun Classic Series unites centuries-old Japanese Samurai black smithing 
with today's modern and technically-sophisticated manufacturing processes. 
The result is an exceedingly high-quality range of Damascus knives, engineered 
with attention to the most minute details and designed to always retain its sharpness. 
The knives are therefore ideally suited for professional use. The Shun Classic blades 
are gorgeous to look at due to the distinctive semigloss pattern exhibited by the 
Damascus steel composite comprising 32 layers.
