Kai Japan - Shun DM-0717RD - Wide Santoku Knife 190mm - Red Limited Edition - kitchen knives
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.
