Description:

The word “Kanso” means “simplicity.” Each kitchen knife in the Shun Kanso line has a full tang and is made from Japanese AUS-10A carbon steel. The handles are tagayasan (or wenge) wood, which is known for its iron-like hardness and beauty. Once you welcome this lovely knife into your home and get used to the “locomotive” slide cutting action— rather than the rocking motion we use in the West— your knife-set-special will be gathering dust in the corner of your kitchen. Whether you want to make quick work of an onion or slice through a butternut squash with ease, this is the blade for you.Every Shun knife is made through a grueling, 100-step process that’s inspired by the long-ago sword smiths of Japan. Shun Kanso: simply built, simply functional, and simply beautiful.

Nakiri Knife:

This Japanese-style knife was designed specifically for processing vegetables and large fruits. It has a distinctive, squared-off tip.
