Steak Knife - Shun Kanso
5″ Steak Knife
MAKE EVERY STEAK EVEN MORE DELICIOUS
Make your best steaks taste even better with the Shun Kanso Steak Knife. With Shun’s incredibly sharp, clean edge, there’s no tearing, no sawing and no need for serrations. Because the edge is so sharp, it cuts fewer of the capillaries in the meat and keeps more of the meat juices, which translates to more of the flavor, inside the steak. Once you use a dedicated steak knife, you’ll understand that the right knife really can make an enormous difference in the enjoyment of your meal. Remember that cutting against the hard surface of ceramic or glass dinner plates is tough on your edge, so these knives will require a little extra care.
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.
