KAI Shun Pro Sho
Traditional Japanese knife shapes with single-edged blades – this is what the knife series Shun Pro Sho by the brand KAI stands for. By using corrosion-resistant A 10 steel, durable Pakka wood, and highly meticulous craftsmanship, the KAI Shun Pro Sho knives are also suitable for high demands, as found in professional kitchens and the gastronomy industry.
KAI Shun Pro Sho knives impress not only with their top-notch quality but also with their elegant design. The skillful combination of classic Japanese styling with modern design elements creates this fascinating look. A real eye-catcher is the blade's appearance: The striking ornaments are created through an innovative etching technique, where the blades receive their pattern first through an immersion process and then through manual finishing.
The Blade
The blades of the KAI Shun Pro Sho knives are forged from corrosion-resistant A 10 steel and achieve a hardness of 60 (±1) HRC. The knife edge is ground on one side to the right at a 45° angle. This single-sided grind ensures extreme sharpness and allows for absolutely fine, precise cuts. Further information on this can be found in our magazine article on "Japanese Knife Forms". The hollow grind on the flat side of the blade creates a kind of air cushion when cutting, which reduces friction and ensures optimal, smooth cutting results.
The Handle
The elegant handle made of black pakkawood emphasizes the sovereign appearance of the Shun Pro Sho knives. The deep black creates a beautiful contrast to the ornamental blade pattern of the knives. The pakkawood used by KAI contains high-quality resins, making this material extremely robust and moisture-resistant. Its proven chestnut shape, recognizable in cross-section, ensures that the knife handle feels comfortable and secure in the hand while working. The full tang provides stability and optimally balances the knives. The beveled bolster, the transition between blade and handle, makes it possible for these knives to be used very well in the overhand grip.
The Types of Knives
The KAI Shun Pro Sho collection is a homage to traditional Japanese knife forms. Therefore, it only includes the three types of knives Usuba, Deba, and Yanagiba, the latter two in two different sizes. For more information on their possible uses, you can find more details in the Butch magazine under "Japanese Knife Forms".
