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.

Includes:

  • 3.5” paring knife
  • 6” Utility knife
  • 8” Chef’s knife
  • Honing steel
  • Slimline Bamboo block

  • AUS10A blades; high-carbon stainless steel offers strength, corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance; added vanadium refines the steel grain enabling a razor-sharp 16° edge, each side
  • Contoured tagayasan (or wenge) wood handle; known as “iron sword wood” is noted for denseness, durability, and beauty - with an easy, comfortable chef’s grip
