Material
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.
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 (on the left side for left-hand models). The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.
Knives are put under a lot of strain in continuous daily use and even the best blade loses its sharpness over time.
KAI offers a wide range of sharpening and care products to give knives the optimum finish for a maximally sharp blade over many years: From ceramic-bonded whetstones for the traditional Japanese and professional way of sharpening to diamond and ceramic sharpeners to sophisticated blade care and more.
