DM.0719 Kai Shun Japanese kitchen knife Damascus honeycomb

Kitchen knife from the Kai Shun Damascus range

This traditional Japanese knife has been produced in Seki, Japan, for centuries and has the same appearance. 
With its 20 cm blade, this versatile knife is perfect for cutting vegetables, meat, fish and herbs.

Forged from a core of VG 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC, surrounded by 32 layers of damascus steel, the honeycomb blade is extremely strong, cuts perfectly and, above all, lasts an incredibly long time.
The honeycomb blade prevents food from sticking to the blade.
Symmetrical cut
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, making it easier to cut 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 tang ensures stability and balance.
