8" Chef's Knife - Shun Kanso
20cm (8″) Chef’s Knife
YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND IN THE KITCHEN
If there is one knife that you simply can’t be without, it’s this one. The Shun Kanso 8 -inch Chef’s Knife is an all-purpose blade ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. This size is the perfect length for slicing, dicing, and chopping small to medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, the Chef’s knife can be gently “rocked” through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Shun Classic’s thinner blades makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style Chef’s knives.
SHUN KANSO LINE—
Kanso means “simplicity,” but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. Influenced by a design principle based on the Zen philosophy of simplicity, the Shun Kanso collection was designed with only the indispensable elements in mind. Plainly put: with these knives, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous. In Kanso, Shun took away anything that does not matter and kept everything that does—high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A, a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso’s Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of tagayasan wood, sometimes known as “iron sword wood.” Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.
If you have admired the simple lines and effortless grace of Japanese design, you have experienced kanso.
