The Kai Shun Premier Chef's knife is a multipurpose knife for slicing, dicing, and chopping ingredients with precision. It has been tailored specifically to the needs and requirements of professional chefs. The high-quality material properties of the well-known Shun Classic Series are combined with an entirely novel and commanding overall appearance. The blade is divided into three different textures: The blade's back down to its middle has been hammered to create a surface known as Tsuchime. This is followed by a fine matt Damascus grain typical for Shun. The blade is finished with a highly-polished precision cutting edge. The meticulously machined blade is paired with a medium brown, grained pakkawood handle. The knife is made in Japan and features a VG-MAX core with 60-61 Rockwell hardness, encased in 32 layers of Damascus steel. It has a 200mm blade length and measures 345 x 50 x 23mm.

Beautiful product. The tsuchime finish doesn't really help much with food release, but it looks awesome. Legendary sharpness out of the box.
