A set of two precision-minded Japanese knives with textured blades that improve performance and durability. Part of the chef-designed Kai Shun Premier series, which is equally suitable for left- and right-handed users. —DETAILS— This set of two knives from the Kai Shun Premier collection features two of the most versatile knives in any chef’s collection. The 18cm santoku knife has an almost straight edge, making it ideal for slicing, dicing, chopping vegetables, and mincing herbs. The slender 16.5cm utility knife is perfect for on and off-board work, from carving small joints of meat to preparing vegetables. With a core of VG MAX steel, these knives will retain a razor-sharp edge. This core is then clad within 32 layers of Damascus steel, before being hammered to create a stunning visual effect known as Tsuchime. The handles are crafted from pakkawood and are ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand, and are ideal for left and right-handed users. These knives are finished to an incredibly high standard. Designed by Tim M?lzer with the attention to that makes Kai the top of their class.
