Shun Classic is the largest and most well-known series of kitchen knives from KAI. The idea behind it is to combine traditional Japanese blacksmithing as the samurai did it with modern sophisticated techniques that ensure consistently high quality.
These ideas materialize in damascus knives, i.e. knives with blades that are made up of separate layers of steel around one hard core. Shun Classic knives are forged from a total of 65 layers of steel, the core of which is the hard VG-MAX - an improvement on VG-10, which KAI has developed itself.
Other details are the asymmetrical D-shaped handle, which is a clear reference to the old Japanese traditions and which is particularly comfortable for right-handed people to use.
The knife here is a 20 cm chef's knife. It is a very versatile knife that can handle most universal needs. Use it both to cut vegetables and meat.
The Shun Classic is lighter and has relatively thin blades compared to Western (German and French) kitchen knives, and therefore also cuts better. However, it also requires that you be more careful when using your knife.
