Kai Shun Bread knife cm 23 in damascus steel

Kai Shun Bread knife cm 23 Every Shun knife is a unique piece, a work of art.
Shun professional knives are made with an inner layer in VG-10 super steel extremely resistant to corrosion, with hardness 61 HRC and allowing to maintain the blade always sharpened in an unequalled way. The two outer sides of the blade are made in damascene stainless steel of new generation having 32 layers. Thanks to the convex surface of the blade and to the manual sharpening of every Shun knife, an unequalled cutting is obtained and the knife slips also through the most difficult foodstuffs to cut. This cutting-edge together with the balanced weight of the knife allow to work without effort.
The handle is made of laminated wood (pakka) very strong, elegant and with an ergonomic shape.
The transversal section of the handle has the traditional chestnut Japanese shape, that fits the fingers of the hand.
Thanks to the new Fulltang type of construction, the outline is extended up to the end of the handle.
Therefore the blade and the handle are perfectly united and the knife can be handled in an optimum way.
Blade length 22,5 cm.
Handle 12,2 cm.
