Kai Shun Classic 3 Piece Knife Set / Santoku

This Kai Shun Classic knife set includes three knives that cover all the bases. We consider this range the best of the best for its high-quality stainless steel blades and comfortable handles.

—DETAILS—

Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpenings. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or D) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment. An all-purpose 18cm Santoku, a 15cm utility knife and a small 9cm paring knife cover all the bases. Packaged in a beautiful gift box.
