Description & specifications
Shun presents their new anniversary knife!
Every year we have the pleasure of a new anniversary knife from Kai Shun. This year we have received a super nice santoku, as an addition to Shun's iconic Classic series.
It measures a full 61mm from the heel, so there is good height and plenty of space to work. Instead of the classic black pakkawood on the handle, it has been replaced with a beautiful red handle made of the same material.
The core steel is Kai's own alloy, VG-Max surrounded by 33-layer damascus cladding.
Only 3000 pieces of this masterpiece have been produced, and all knives come numbered with a serial number.

Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
