Kai Shun Classic Serrated Utility Knife
Every Shun knife is a unique piece, a work of art. Shun professional knives are made with an inner layer in VG-10 steel extremely resistant to corrosion with hardness 61 HRC, allowing to maintain the blade always sharpened in an unequaled way. The outer two sides of the blade are made in damascene stainless steel of new generation having 32 layers. Thanks to the convex surface of the blade and to the manual sharpening of every Shun knife, an unequaled cutting-edge is obtained and the knife slips also through the most difficult foodstuffs to cut. This cutting-edge together with the balanced weight of the knife allow to work without effort. The handle is made in laminated wood (pakka) very strong, elegant and with an ergonomic shape. The transversal section of the handle has the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, that is adapted to fingers. Thanks to the new Fulltang type of manufacture, the outline extends up to the handle. Therefore the blade and the handle are perfectly united and the knife can be used in a perfect way. Knife with a special micro toothed edge fit to cut tomatoes, small crustacea and foodstuffs with fiber. Blade length 15 cm. Handle length 10,4 cm.
FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks.
However, the ideal choice depends on several factors:
Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade.
Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade.
Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency.
In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?
It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?
Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
