Olive-Shaped Santoku Knife 18 cm Shun Classic Series by KAI

The 18 cm Olive-Shaped Santoku Knife from the Shun Classic Series by KAI is an extremely versatile tool, designed to offer excellent performance in the three main functions of Asian cuisine: chopping, slicing, and mincing. The wide, slightly curved blade ensures a smooth, controlled cut, while the grooves (grooves) along the edge reduce friction and prevent food from sticking, facilitating quick and precise work even with soft or moist ingredients. The blade is made of a VG-MAX steel core with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC, ensuring a fine, extremely sharp, and long-lasting edge. The 32 layers of Damascus steel that encase the core give the knife a refined aesthetic and a structure that combines stability, elasticity, and durability. The symmetrical sharpening on both sides promotes a clean, consistent cut, perfect for those who demand high performance in everyday preparation. The pakkawood handle, shaped in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, offers an ergonomic, secure, and comfortable grip even during prolonged use. The high-quality resins in the material make it particularly resistant to moisture and wear, while the continuous tang contributes to impeccable balance. The Shun Classic Olive Santoku is the ideal tool for those seeking precision, efficiency, and superior handling at every stage of preparation. Blade length: 18 cm Shipping time: 5-7 days
