Shun’s Kanso line is based on a Zen philosophy meaning Simplicity. For this series, Shun eliminated everything that was not essential to creating an excellent knife. Shun’s requirements for a high-quality knife are: high-quality steel, a razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. Kanso blades are made from a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium Japanese stainless steel capable of taking a razor-sharp edge and holding it longer than other blades. The blades have a Heritage finish designed to hide scratches and give the knife a rustic look that improves with age. The handles are made from tagayasan wood and are contoured to fit comfortably in your hand. These knives have a full tang to give the knives strength and perfect balance.
Whether you’re barbequing at home or on the road, this set ensures you have the three key knives to handle grill worthy meats of all kinds. Store and carry the Kanso Asian multi prep knife (Japanese style poultry knife), Kanso boning/fillet knife, and Kanso brisket knife (with its own wooden sheath) in the handsome Shun knife roll.
