The Kanso series is focused on the concept of “simplicity,†and the essential aspects of every knife for best quality. The Shun Kanso Asian Multi-Prep Knife has been designed to be a remarkable culinary tool for scoring and trimming meats as well as a wide range of other food prep tasks. With its triangular tip and 5-inch blade, bones and joints separate easily from poultry, fish or other protein. The Japanese AUS10A stainless steel is highly refined carbon and vanadium, meaning it will hold its edge longer for an excellent slice with every use. The handle is made of tagayasan, or “iron sword wood,†which is contoured to fit a chef’s hand. The Multi-Prep Knife upholds the Shun standard of excellence with a 16-degree cutting angle on either side, which is significantly sharper than western-style knives. The handcrafted knife features a rustic Heritage finish to hide scratches and keeping the blade looking new. Join Shun and invest in a knife that transforms tradition with innovation.
