Knife/cutlery case set kai Shun Classic 3 pc Steel Wood

The KAI Shun Classic 3-piece knife/cutlery case set features blades with a VG-MAX steel core hardened to 61 (±1) HRC that runs to the edge, wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel. The hybrid construction produces a blade that combines high hardness with controlled flexibility. Each Shun Classic blade is double-bevelled. The handles are slim, made from durable pakkawood shaped in the traditional Japanese chestnut form; resin treatment increases moisture resistance and durability while an integrated tang provides balance and stability.

Advantages

The VG-MAX core ensures edge retention and cutting performance while the 32-layer Damascus cladding improves toughness and reduces brittleness. Double-sided edges allow for precise, consistent cuts. Pakkawood handles offer a comfortable, secure grip and enhanced resistance to humidity; the integrated tang improves overall balance and stability of the knife.

• General kitchen cutting tasks such as slicing, dicing and chopping
