DM.0704 Kai Shun Damascus Japanese slicing knife

Slicing knife from the Kai Shun Damascus range

This traditional Japanese knife has been produced in Seki, Japan, for centuries. 
With its 23 cm blade, it's perfect for slicing meats, roasts and legs of lamb.

Forged from a core of VG 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC, surrounded by 32 layers of damascus steel, the blade is extremely strong, cuts perfectly and, above all, lasts an incredibly long time.
This cutting resistance - obtained by a new three-stage slow-speed sharpening process specific to Kai - considerably reduces the friction between the blade and the product, enabling better cutting of food.
The slender handle, made from hard-wearing Pakka wood, comes in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape. The high-quality resins that nourish the wood make the material particularly robust and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a firm, comfortable grip when cutting, thanks to a slight ridge on the right-hand side. The continuous bristle ensures stability and balance.
