Shun Kanso 5.5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Description: Shun Kanso 5.5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife A member of the stylish Shun Kanso line, this durable santoku knife is adept at mincing, slicing and dicing. The shun premier santoku knife is no exception. With a 5.5-inch blade it is a work-horse for all your kitchen prep, chopping and slicing its way through all your tedious tasks.Shun pronounced "shoon" in Japanese, is known as "at the peak of perfection". Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means “simplicity,” but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, we took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A—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." The handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. 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. Made in Japan.When it comes to your kitchen, it's all about finding the tool that are just right for you. If you prefer a smaller knife, may we suggest you try the Shun Kanso 5.5-inch Santoku? In size, it's smaller than our full-sized santoku, but still offers all the performance you expect from a favorite kitchen tool. Its in-between weight and size make this santoku perfect for medium-sized kitchen tasks, from slicing carrots and shallots to mincing herbs to cutting chocolate or butter. The hollow-grounds on the blade help food release more quickly, making food preparation even easier. Cooks with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a more compact knife may find that this slightly smaller santoku becomes a top go-to knife. Some cooks have told us they use it in place of a paring knife or find it to be the ideal size for cutting up breakfast fruit.Blade Construction: AUS10A—high-carbon, vanadium stainless steelFull tang, provides strength & balanceHand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade (32° comprehensive)Handle: Contoured tagayasan woodHeritage finish hides scratches, gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with ageMade in JapanLifetime Manufacturers Warranty
