Kai Shun Classic 5 Knife, Whetstone and Block Set / Oak Block
This Kai Shun Classic knife set—which includes five knives, a sharpening whetstone, and a Stonehenge block—is exclusive to us. ---DETAILS---
Kai Shun adapts centuries-old samurai blacksmithing to make exceptional Japanese knives for the modern cook. Every knife in their world-renowned Classic range has a steeply tapered blade, which makes it much sharper than a Western knife. A core of hard VG MAX steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel, makes it extremely durable and rust-resistant, ensuring the knife retains its edge in between sharpenings—with a whetstone only. The layers, which create a unique pattern on each knife, help prevent food from sticking to the side of the blade. The tarnish-proof pakkawood handle has a chestnut (or ‘D’) shape that moulds perfectly to a right-handed grip. (Left-handed users, worry not; we also carry a 5-knife set in the ambidextrous and equally impressive Kai Shun Premier range.) The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment. The set includes one of each of the following:
- 20cm Kai Shun Classic Chef's Knife
- 8.5cm Kai Shun Classic Paring Knife
- 15cm Kai Shun Classic Utility Knife
- 22.5cm Kai Shun Classic Bread Knife
- 22.5cm Kai Shun Classic Slicing Knife
- Kai Seki Magoroku Combination Whetstone 1000/4000
- Kai Stonehenge Pillar Knife Block
