A splendid magnetic knife board in walnut is completed with 7 damascus knives from the Kai Shun Classic Series knives splendid to use and to view, which you can store in your kitchen like a painting.
Kai's Shun Classic series knives are timeless knives, handmade by skilled artisans and based on the highest standards of quality and design.
Starting from this basis, the wood raw material of the magnetic bar meets very stringent requirements.
In production, the beauty and variety of the types of wood used are a fundamental choice criterion as much as the concepts of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Each Shun knife is a unique piece, a work of art.
The Shun Classic professional knives are made with an internal layer of VG-10 super steel extremely resistant to corrosion, with a hardness of 61 HRC and will allow you to keep the blade always sharp in an unparalleled way. While the two outer faces of the blade are made of new generation 32-layer damascus stainless steel.
Thanks to the convex surface of the blade and the manual sharpening of each Shun knife, you get an incomparable cut that lets the knife slide through even the most difficult foods to cut.
This wire combined with the balanced weight of the knife, allows you to work without fatigue.
The handle is made of very robust and refined laminated wood (pakka) with an ergonomic shape.
The cross section of the handle features the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, which fits nicely on the fingers of the hand.
Thanks to the new type of Fulltang construction, the shape extends to the end of the handle.
Therefore the blade and handle are perfectly joined to each other and the knife can be handled optimally.
