Description
This two-piece set features a wide Japanese santoku and narrow utility knife—cornerstones of a good knife collection.
---DETAILS---
Part of the extensive Kai Shun Classic range, which we consider the best of the best for its high-quality stainless steel blades and comfortable handles. Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steep tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpenings. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or ‘D’) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment, especially considering how a wide santoku (18cm) and narrow utility knife (15cm) can be used an extensive amount of ways. Packaged in a beautiful gift box.
We offer a free annual sharpening service for 10 years after the purchase of a Kai Shun knife, exclusively for customers on our mailing list. Read our Japanese knife care guide here.
---BENEFITS---
‘A Kai Shun Classic knife glides effortlessly through ingredients with the most satisfying degree of precision, and the well-balanced handle is crafted to fit perfectly in your right hand.'
