About Shun Kanso Set, 5 Piece, HG
With everything you'll need to prepare a perfect meal, this Shun Kanso 5-Piece Knife Set is a welcome addition to any kitchen. The set includes one each: Kanso 3.5-inch Paring Knife, Kanso 6-inch Utility Knife, a Kanso 7-inch Hollow-Ground Santoku Knife, Kanso Combination Honing Steel and Slim Line Knife Block. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means “simplicity,” but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, Shun took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A—highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso's Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of Tagayasan wood, sometimes known as “iron sword wood." The handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. 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. Hand-crafted in Seki City, Japan, Kanso is essential simplicity: a simple kitchen knife that simply performs. Hand wash only; limited lifetime warranty when purchased from an authorized Shun dealer.
