Japanese KAI Shun Elite knives

The Shun ELITE chef's knife combines extraordinary appearance with the demand on highest sharpness and function.
The blade has a solid sintered SG2 core with the extraordinary hardness of 64±1 HRC. The additional coating of a softer stainless steel alloy delivers the perfect combination of cutting edge retention, flexibility and corrosion protection.
The elegant blackish-brown handle is made from laminated Pakka wood. The handle’s inset consists of a Samurai emblem together with one red and one golden brass ring, thus emphasizing the traditional claim of the top class series.
The ergonomic shape of the oval handle is soft to the touch and – together with a fine balance – allows for comfortable work.

The ELITE knives series has been inspired till the finest detail by the aesthetic art of the samouraï swords.
