KAI Shun Classic Santoku Knife 14 cm

The KAI Shun Classic Santoku Knife 14 cm is a single-piece Japanese kitchen knife designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing. It has a 140 mm blade that gives a compact cutting surface for preparing vegetables, meat, and fish. The blade uses a VG-MAX stainless steel core with 32-layer Damascus cladding, producing a patterned finish and supporting edge retention. Its shorter profile makes it easier to manoeuvre than a traditional Western chef's knife. The package contains one unit, enough for everyday cutting tasks without the need for additional specialist pieces.

The handle is made from black Pakkawood and has an ergonomic D-shape that gives a secure grip for both left- and right-handed users. Hand washing is required for proper care; the knife is not dishwasher safe. Made in Japan, it meets regional standards associated with Damascus-clad kitchen tools. The balance between handle and layered steel blade allows controlled, precise cuts during food preparation. Proper care is needed to preserve the wooden handle and the structural integrity of the steel over time.
