KAI presents the new Shun Classic Red DM-0717RD as a highlight. The exclusive Wide Santoku combines the proven qualities of the Shun Classic series with a new and elegant red grain pakkawood handle in a limited edition. The knife is limited to only 3,000 pieces worldwide. The serial number engraved on the bolster makes each knife unique and desirable as a collector's item.

The extremely sharp blade is made of an extremely hard VG-MAX steel core with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC and is coated with 32 layers of Damascus steel. This combination ensures an extremely stable, hard, and yet flexible blade, ideal for a clean and precise cut. The blade is ground on both sides and is particularly lightweight, making it easier to use in the kitchen.

As with the regular knives of the Shun Classic series, the special red grain handle of the Shun Classic Red is made of pakkawood. The treatment with selected resins makes it extremely soft, elastic, durable, and moisture-resistant. Thanks to the traditional Japanese "chestnut" shape of the handle, the Wide Santoku fits comfortably in the hand during cutting and offers a firm grip.

The Kiritsuke Shun Classic DM-0777 is a true work of art in the kitchen. The blade is made of VG MAX steel, known for its hardness of 61 (±1) HRC, which guarantees exceptional and long-lasting sharpness. The VG MAX steel core is covered with 32 layers of Damascus steel, giving the blade an unmistakable appearance and a perfect combination of stability, resistance and elasticity.

The blades of the Shun Classic series are sharpened on both sides, offering precision and ease of use.

Shun Classic is one of the flagship lines of the Kai Group (which currently also includes the Kershaw and Zero Tolerance brands), a famous Japanese industry that has been producing knives and razors since the early 1900s. It is a series of knives and kitchen accessories suitable for professionals and enthusiasts.

The core of Kaname blades is made of an extremely durable VGXeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, rolled in two layers of stainless steel. The special manufacturing method ensures an incredibly thin cutting edge that reduces friction during use. This results in excellent and durable sharpness, promoting filigree, smooth and precise cuts.

To best design the handle, we combined the experiences of professionals and consumers. The result is a black-grained pakkawood handle that creates a seamless transition from the handle to the tang. The octagonal, ergonomic shape of the handle provides good control while cutting, while the knife rests securely and comfortably in the hand.

With the two Kohen knives, the Japanese company once again demonstrates its great expertise in producing high-quality kitchen knives. The "Coreless" Damascus blade is made from VG2 and VG10 high-performance stainless steels that are forged and folded to produce 72 layers that alternate sequentially on the edge of the blade to ensure unmatched cutting and edge-holding performance.

A premium material such as pakkawood in red and black colorations was chosen for the handles. Also included in the set are two leather blade protector sheaths and an aluminum case for storing and transporting these two valuable knives safely.

Kai Europe offers another exclusive collaboration with master-chef Tim Mälzer: Small Kiritsuke 13 The Lucky Edition.

A special edition with an opaque brown handle and a 15 cm hammered blade. The edition is limited to only 5555 pieces and each one is numbered. As such, each knife is a unique collector's item.

As with the previous limited edition, the Kiritsuke was chosen, but in a smaller size. This is a type of Japanese knife that combines the design and characteristics of a usuba and a yanagiba. The usuba is used for cutting vegetables and the yanagiba for raw fish, for example when making sashimi. As such, the kiritsuke can be used for many different tasks in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, meat and fish. The tanto inverted profile makes the tip very flexible and perfect for precision tasks. The flat blade is perfect for other cutting tasks.

The superbly sharp blade is made of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (± 1) HRC and surrounded by 32-layer Damascus steel. The Damascus steel makes each knife unique. The matt handle of this special edition is, like the regular knives in the Tim Mälzer Premier collection, made of walnut wood: it is moisture-resistant thanks to the resin treatment. The chestnut shape of the handle is comfortable in the hand and provides a firm grip when using the knife.
