KAI Shun Classic Knife

The KAI Shun Classic Knife Series

The KAI Shun Classic series combines tradition and modernity of Japan. Centuries-old forging techniques meet modern, technically advanced manufacturing processes. The result is a Damascus knife series that is focused on long-lasting sharpness like no other knife series.

The KAI Shun Classic Blade

The secret of the KAI Shun Classic knife series is a newly developed, rust-free Damascus steel. In total, there are 32 layers including a core of VG MAX steel. The extreme hardness of 61 (±1) HRC with a carbon content of 1.0% and a cobalt content of 1.5% ensures high toughness, long service life, and a low tendency to break. The convex blade grind, as well as the hand sharpening of each knife, creates a very appealing sharpness that will last permanently with proper care. And it is precisely this proper care that ensures that you will enjoy these knives for many, many years. A final refinement ultimately brings out the unmistakable Damascus grain to its full effect. Each grain is unique, making each knife an unmistakable individual piece.

The Shun Classic Handle

This handle is truly a classic, almost legendary. It is made of dark Pakkawood, which becomes particularly durable and long-lasting by adding high-quality resins. Thanks to the traditional Japanese chestnut shape with the light edge, the handle is extremely comfortable and above all secure in the hand. The full tang ensures stability and balance. The perfect interplay between blade and handle allows you to guide the knife extremely precisely and cut without fatigue. The transition between blade and handle is marked by a stainless steel bolster, which harmonizes optically excellently with the blade, as does the end cap.
