The KAI Shun Classic Damascus collection combines centuries of Japanese sword-making tradition with cutting-edge craftsmanship. The convex cut of the blade together with the manual honing of each Shun knife delivers an unrivalled sharpness. Each knife features a razor-sharp VG-MAX steel core clad in 32 layers of Damascus steel, delivering exceptional precision, remarkable edge retention, and striking beauty for discerning chefs and passionate home cooks.
