JKC Kai Damascus Kengata ? Broad European Style Chef?s Knife 250mm

This powerful kitchen multi-tasker is perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping large quantities of fruits, vegetables, meats, and more. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is extra handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, this chef's knife can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Plus, a thinner blade makes it lighter and less tiring to use than comparable European-style chef's knives. Shun Classic's tasteful and contemporary design features a beautiful Damascus-clad blade and D-shaped ebony pakkawood handle. Behind the knife's beauty is function: a razor-sharp blade offering precision performance. Shun's VG10 steel core-known for its incredible edge retention-is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then bead-blasted, revealing the woodgrain pattern of the steel that allows the blade to slide easily through food. The result is a knife that's sharp, durable and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. NSF-certified knife meets the high-level safety standards for professional kitchens. 8" or 10" blade. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended. . Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan.
