DM.0768-Kai Shun Damascus Japanese slicing knife

Slicing knife from the Kai Shun Damascus range

Traditional Japanese knife produced for centuries in Seki, Japan in the same look. 
The slicing knife is specially designed for slicing, cutting into pieces. Its blade is thinner and narrower than the chef's knife to have a better precision. The blade is between 15 and 25 cm  
Forged from a core of VG 10 steel with a hardness of 61 HRC and surrounded by 32 layers of damascus steel, the blade is extremely strong, has a perfect cutting action and above all lasts an incredibly long time.
This cutting resistance - achieved by a new three-stage slow-speed sharpening process specific to Kai - considerably reduces the friction between the blade and the product and allows for better cutting of food
The slim handle, made of durable Pakka wood, is presented in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape. The high-quality resins that nourish the wood make the material particularly robust and resistant to moisture. The typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and firm grip when cutting, thanks to the slight ridge on the right side. The continuous tang guarantees stability and balance.
