## Summary description

KAI Shun Kiritsuke Steel chef's knife with a 20 cm steel blade, supplied as a single piece. Designed for versatile kitchen tasks including slicing, dicing and fine cutting. The Kiritsuke profile provides a long cutting edge for precise straight cuts. Suitable for professional and home cooks seeking durable, general-purpose performance.

## Long description

KAI Shun Kiritsuke Steel chef's knife features a 20 cm blade with a VG MAX steel core hardened to 61 (±1) HRC that extends through to the cutting edge. The core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus-style steel, producing a blade that combines a hard cutting core with flexible outer layers. The Shun Classic blade has a double-sided edge and a long Kiritsuke profile that provides a long straight cutting surface suitable for a range of kitchen tasks.
Advantages
The VG MAX core offers high edge retention and wear resistance while the layered Damascus cladding improves toughness and reduces the risk of brittle failure. The 20 cm Kiritsuke profile supplies an extended straight edge for precise slicing and push cuts, and the double-sided bevel enables ambidextrous use and versatile cutting techniques.
Suitable for
Slicing large vegetables and fruit
Precision straight cuts and thin slicing of proteins
Dicing and general-purpose chef tasks
Professional kitchen and dedicated home cooks
Key specifications
Blade length: 20 cm
Core material: VG MAX steel with 61 (±1) HRC hardness
Construction: 32-layer Damascus cladding over a full-length core
Edge type: double-sided bevel
Blade profile: Kiritsuke (long straight cutting edge)
How to use
Use the Kiritsuke blade for straight slicing, push cuts and general chef tasks. Hold the knife with a secure grip and guide the blade in controlled strokes along the cutting board. For thin, even slices, use the long straight section of the blade and let the sharp edge do the work rather than applying excessive force. Maintain a stable cutting surface and keep fingers clear of the cutting path.
Usage recommendations
Sharpen the blade regularly with an appropriate whetstone to preserve the VG MAX core’s edge retention. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to protect the Damascus cladding and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
