## Long description

KAI Shun Classic Santoku knife with an 18 cm stainless damask blade combines a VG-MAX core with 32-layer damask cladding to deliver a durable, corrosion-resistant cutting edge. The blade's convex grind and individual manual honing produce exceptional sharpness and precise cuts for vegetables, fish and meat. The one-piece construction and ergonomic handle provide balance and control for everyday kitchen tasks and professional preparation.
Advantages
The VG-MAX core steel (approx. 61±1 HRC) ensures long-lasting edge retention and high corrosion resistance, while the 32-layer damask exterior adds structural strength and a distinctive grain pattern. The convex blade geometry and hand-honed finish give superior slicing performance, and the well-balanced single-piece design reduces fatigue during extended use.
