Description
Add one of the most popular Asian-inspired cooking knives to your collection with the Shun Cutlery 7-inch Kanso Hollow Ground Santoku Knife. Shorter than a standard chef’s knife, this professional kitchen knife is light, agile and easy to maneuver with just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts. Hollow-ground indentations on the side of the blade create small air pockets to reduce friction while cutting – making it easier to glide through each cut. It's versatile enough to handle all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. Constructed with AUS10A high-carbon stainless steel and reinforced with vanadium, this santoku knife is strong, corrosion resistant, and wear resistant with a razor-sharp 16-degree edge. The full-tang handle is made with beautiful and durable contoured tagayasan wood, known as "iron sword wood," and offers a secure grip, excellent control, and precision balance. In Japan, the blade is more than a tool – it's a tradition. Housed in Seki City, the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry, Shun Fine Cutlery is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition. Each knife is handcrafted by highly skilled artisans to produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. We also leverage modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide Shun quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.
