Chinese Knife 18 cm Shun Classic Series by KAI

The 18 cm Chinese knife from the Shun Classic Series by KAI is an extremely efficient and versatile tool, designed to deliver excellent performance at every stage of preparation. Its wide, thin, and perfectly balanced blade allows for rapid chopping, slicing, and mincing, while ensuring precision and control. Thanks to its large surface, it is also ideal for scooping and transferring ingredients directly into the pot or wok, making it an indispensable companion in the busiest kitchens. The core of the blade is crafted from VG-MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC, a material that ensures a sharp, durable, and long-lasting edge. The 32 layers of Damascus steel that surround the core create an elegant and distinctive pattern, as well as ensuring a solid, resilient, and highly wear-resistant structure. Symmetrical sharpening on both sides promotes a smooth and consistent cut, ideal for the rapid, repeated operations typical of Asian cuisine. The pakkawood handle, crafted in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, offers an ergonomic, stable, and comfortable grip. The high-quality resins in the material provide high resistance to moisture and deterioration, while the continuous tang ensures perfect balance despite the generous cutting surface. The 18 cm Shun Classic Chinese knife is the ideal choice for those seeking versatility, reliability, and professional performance in a single tool. Blade length: 18 cm Shipping time: 5-7 days
