What characterises the Kai Shun Classic series?
The Kai Shun Classic series is one of the most iconic lines by Kai. The blades feature a VG-MAX steel core clad with 32 layers of Damascus steel on each side (64 total), reaching a hardness of about 61 HRC. This construction provides excellent edge retention, strength and cutting precision, along with the distinctive Damascus pattern on the blade. The pakkawood handle, shaped in the traditional “D-shape”, ensures ergonomic grip, stability and good balance.
