## Summary description

The KAI Shun Classic Chef's knife features a 20 cm stainless steel blade, designed for precision and durability. Ideal for professional and home chefs alike, it offers excellent balance and sharpness for various cutting tasks.

## Long description

The KAI Shun Classic 20 cm chef's knife is made in Japan and features a 20 cm stainless damascus blade with 32 layers and a VG-MAX steel core. The VG-MAX core (approx. 61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt) offers high hardness and corrosion resistance, while the convex grind and manual honing provide exceptional cutting performance and long-lasting sharpness. The knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and a balanced weight for comfortable, efficient use.
Advantages
The 32-layer damascus construction gives each blade a distinctive pattern while protecting the VG-MAX core. High hardness of the core steel ensures a fine, durable edge and reliable corrosion resistance. The convex cut and hand-finished edge deliver precise slicing through a wide range of ingredients, and the well-balanced handle reduces fatigue during extended use.
Suitable for
Professional kitchens and restaurants
Home cooks seeking a high-quality all-purpose chef's knife
Precision slicing, dicing and chopping of vegetables, meat and fish

How to use
Use the chef's knife for standard kitchen tasks such as slicing, dicing and chopping. Hold the handle with a secure grip and guide the blade using controlled, smooth motions. For best results, use a suitable cutting board (wood or plastic) and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass, which can damage the edge. The convex grind favors slicing motions and allows precise control when cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry immediately after use to preserve the damascus surface and edge. Hone regularly with an appropriate honing rod and sharpen when necessary using whetstones or professional sharpening services to maintain the VG-MAX edge. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade.
