Product details:
An Asian-style chef s knife, the Shun Kanso santoku handles everything from slicing fish and cutting meat to chopping vegetables. Incredibly versatile and easy to maneuver, it s great for traditional push cuts as well as Western-style rocking cuts. Hollow-ground indentions in the blade reduce friction, ensuring clean, uniform cuts with minimal sticking. As pretty as it is practical, this high-performance knife makes a welcome addition to any cook s collection. brbrShun s Kanso series is based on the Zen philosophy of simplicity—removing anything that doesn t matter and keeping only the essentials. Made with Japanese, high-carbon steel, Kanso knives take a razor-sharp edge and hold it longer. Full-tang construction provides strength, balance and precision cutting control. Hand sharpened to a 16° double-beveled edge, these knives deliver perfectly smooth cuts. brbrKanso s beautiful handle is made of tagayasan wood, traditionally used in Japan for making samurai sword handles. A heritage finish on the handle hides scratches, giving knives a rustic look that improves with age. Plus, the contoured handle enables a chef s grip that s comfortable for both right- and left-handed cooks. Handcrafted in Japan, these knives pair exceptional performance with timeless artistry.
