## Summary description

## Long description

The Kai Shun Classic Universal Knife 10 cm is a versatile stainless-steel kitchen knife from the Shun damask series, designed for precise everyday cutting tasks. It features a 10 cm blade with a VG-MAX steel core and a 32-layer damask exterior, offering high hardness and corrosion resistance for long-lasting sharpness. The blade's convex grind and hand-honed edge deliver clean, consistent cuts while the balanced construction and ergonomic handle support comfortable, controlled use.
Advantages
The VG-MAX core (approx. 61±1 HRC) combined with 32 layers of damask stainless steel gives the blade exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The convex blade geometry and manual honing produce a very sharp cutting edge suitable for precise slicing, while the well-balanced weight and ergonomic handle reduce wrist fatigue during repeated tasks. Each knife shows a unique damask pattern resulting from the layered steel finish.
Suitable for
Slicing fruits and vegetables
Trimming small pieces of meat or poultry
Precision tasks such as peeling and detailed cutting
General kitchen prep where a short, maneuverable blade is preferred

How to use
Hold the Kai Shun Classic universal knife with a comfortable grip on the handle and use the short 10 cm blade for controlled motions. Apply even pressure and use a slicing or rocking motion depending on the task: short, precise strokes for peeling and trimming, or longer slices for cutting vegetables. Keep the knife on a suitable cutting board and avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as glass or stone to protect the edge.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry immediately after use to maintain the damask finish and prevent spotting. Regularly hone the edge with a ceramic or fine steel rod and use a proper sharpening stone when needed to restore the factory angle. Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath to avoid contact with other utensils.
