Shun is the premium series by KAI, crafted around the concept of "tools that reflect the changing seasons." It is one of the most renowned and high-end lines of Japanese kitchen knives, designed for both home and professional use.

Santoku is the versatile model, capable of replacing three types of knives at once: a vegetable knife, a meat knife, and a fish knife. Thanks to its balanced shape and 175 mm blade length, the knife easily handles any ingredient, from leafy greens to meat and fish.

Product features:

The blade is crafted from 33-layer Damascus steel. Multi-layer forging creates a distinctive pattern reminiscent of wood grain or traditional Japanese sword patterns. Paired with a black handle, the knife has a substantial, striking appearance, visually evoking a miniature Japanese sword.
The core is made of VG-Max steel, ensuring high hardness and durability. The knife retains a razor-sharp edge for a long time and does not tear the fibers of ingredients.
Sharpening is performed manually, with meticulous adjustments down to the micrometer level. Thanks to the finely honed cutting edge, the knife glides cleanly even through dense products, preserving the structure of ingredients.
The handle is made of durable Pakka wood. Its D-shaped design ensures a comfortable grip, reduces fatigue, and makes handling more effortless.

Each knife undergoes meticulous hand-polishing and finishing, making every piece a true masterpiece: durable, precise, and worthy of both professional kitchens and as a gift for someone who appreciates high-quality Japanese craftsmanship.
