Lovingly handcrafted in Japan, the full tang Kai Shun 19.4cm Chinese Chefs Knife has an individual character due to the damask design. A unique piece of art that combines craftsmanship, technology and design. Inspired by the ancient techniques of the Samurai swordsmiths. The VG-10 steel is extremely hard and highly resistant to corrosion (61 +/_1 HRC, 1.0% Carbon, 1.5% Cobalt).

The Kai Shun DM-0712 19.4cm Chinese Chef's Knife is a large squared knife with a very wide blade, every part of it can be put to use. The edge is used to chop vegetables, especially larger ones such as cabbage, which are frequently a part of Chinese cuisine. The flat surface of the blade makes a great tool for smashing garlic cloves or ginger. The cleaver feels solid, but Shun's thinner blade makes it easy to handle so food preparation is a pleasure.

The minimalist ebony PakkaWood is reinforced with high quality resin making it particularly robust and water-resistant (will not bend, warp, split or absorb water). The classic D-shape butt is a traditional Japanese style, ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the curve of the fingers when using a chef's pinch grip. It provides stability and precise control of the knife whether right or left-handed. Left-handers achieve control by resting their fingertips on the ridge.
