Paring Knife is a must-have for every kitchen.
SHUN KANSO 8 PIECE KNIFE SET PLUS
There are two additional slots, plus one to accommodate a handy pair of kitchen shears. They all fit in the solid wood block-with room to expand. You get the Kanso 8-inch Chef's Knife, 5.5-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku, 6-inch Utility Knife, 3.5-inch Paring Knife, and the Kanso Combination Honing Steel. The Kanso 6-piece block features five key pieces of kitchen cutlery, plus a beautiful block with a finish to match the Kanso handle. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste. Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. The handle is made of a wood called tagayasan or wenge, which is sometimes known in Japan as “iron sword wood.” The handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Kanso's Heritage finishes hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The steel is Japanese AUS10A-highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. In Kanso, we took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. It means “simplicity,” but the simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. Shun Kanso 6 Piece Block Knife Set SWTS0600
