Kai Shun Office Knife

KAI Shun Series

The Shun knife series is one of the most extensive Damascus knife collections in the world and is highly regarded by culinary professionals and ambitious home cooks alike. Shun professional kitchen knives are made from a specially developed, stainless Damascus steel with 32 layers. The core layer is made of VG MAX steel, which is extremely corrosion-resistant, very hard (61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt), and retains its sharpness for a long time with proper care. The convex grind of the blade, along with the manual honing of each Shun knife, creates an unparalleled sharpness that allows the knife to glide effortlessly through even the toughest ingredients. This sharpness, combined with the balanced weight of the knives, enables fatigue-free working.

Each Shun knife is given a unique and individual character through the refinement of the naturally beautiful Damascus grain. This makes each Shun knife a distinctive one-of-a-kind piece—an artwork that combines craftsmanship, technology, and design. The technique derived from Japanese samurai sword forging has been adapted for the production of the finest kitchen knives in the Shun series, including Western blade shapes.

Paring Knife

The convex grind of the paring knife blade creates a unique sharpness that allows the paring knife to glide through even the toughest ingredients. This sharpness, combined with the balanced weight of the paring knife, enables fatigue-free working. The paring knife is used for the clean preparation of ingredients, which are then cut with the chef's knife.
