Care instructions

Cleaning Rinse the knives with hot water before using them for the first time. Protect your knives by cleaning them immediately after use (with mild detergent). Then rinse the blade with clean water and dry it carefully with a soft cloth. Especially after cutting acidic foods, you should rinse your knives immediately. For your own protection, always wipe knives from the back of the knife toward the cutting edge with a soft dishcloth or towel. Under no circumstances should knives be placed in the dishwasher. Always wash the knives by hand to preserve the material and maintain the longevity of the sharpness.

Sharpening & Care Be especially careful not to leave knives with a natural wood handle in water for too long. For special care, oil the handles and blade of your knives from time to time with neutral vegetable or camellia oil. We also recommend that you have your knives professionally from time to time to remove signs of wear on the cutting edge and to maintain the and to ensure lasting sharpness. Due to the high hardness of our knives, sharpening steels are completely unsuitable. From the traditional whetstone to a to a complete electric system, our range offers the right tool for each of our knives. For the professional handling of our grinding assortment we inform you about here.

Storing When storing the knives, make sure that the cutting edge the cutting edge does not come into contact with other metallic objects. This can prevent damage to the blade. It is best to store the knives in a knife block, in a wooden drawer insert, on a wooden magnetic bar or in a blade protector in the drawer.

KAI celebrates ten million Shun series knives sold

The Shun Kohen chef's knife with a blade length of 20.0 cm and the Shun Kohen all-purpose knife with a blade length of 15.0 cm combine outstanding features with a unique look. The blades impress with a 72-layer dual-core damascus steel with a hardness of 60 (±2) HRC. In an innovative forging process, this is forged with alternating layers of flexible yet resistant VG2 steel and particularly hard VG10 steel.

With the combination of chef's knife and all-purpose knife, the set ideally supports the versatile cutting challenges in the kitchen. The deep red-black grained pakka wood handle in chestnut shape is extremely comfortable and secure in the hand during use. At the same time, the continuous tang ensures the optimal balance between blade and handle. The treatment with selected resins makes the pakka wood handles permanently extremely resistant to moisture, supple, resilient and durable. The knives are safely stored at all times in the padded aluminum case with Shun logo. In addition, the two leather sheaths included in the set provide additional protection for the sharp blades - even when the knives are stored and transported outside the aluminum case.
