Kai Shun Classic White 5 Knife and Whetstone Set
This Kai Shun Classic knife set includes five knives and a whetstone to keep them sharp. We consider this range the best of the best for its high-quality stainless steel blades and comfortable handles.
---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. The balance and overall lightness of these knives make this set a great investment. The set includes one of each of the following:
- Santoku Knife
- Slicing Knife
- Bread Knife
- Utility Knife
- Paring Knife
- Whetstone
