KAI Shun Classic Santoku Knife 19 cm

The KAI Shun Classic 19 cm Santoku is a Japanese kitchen knife designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The 190 mm blade is made to hold its edge well during daily use. Layered cladding surrounds the core, providing reinforcement and a patterned finish. The hand-finished convex edge helps food fall away from the blade, and the 15° sharpening angle balances precision and durability.

The handle is made of black Pakkawood, a moisture-resistant composite. The ergonomic shape provides a secure grip, helping to reduce fatigue during repetitive tasks. These knives are made in Japan using traditional metalworking techniques adapted for modern culinary tools. Hand-wash only to protect the high-carbon steel and wood. The balanced design allows for control during both rocking and vertical chopping.

• VG-MAX steel core: a high-carbon alloy used for the inner cutting edge.
• 32-layer Damascus cladding: creates a distinct pattern while supporting the core.
• Rockwell hardness: 61 (±1) HRC, indicating tempered durability.
• Asymmetric D-shaped handle: designed for a secure, comfortable grip.
• Total length: 322 mm, providing a balanced pivot point for various cutting techniques.
• Package contents: one 19 cm Santoku knife.
