Shun pronounced "shoon" in Japanese, is known as "at the peak of perfection". Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means "simplicity, " but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. 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. 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. The Kanso 6-piece block features five key pieces of kitchen cutlery, plus a beautiful block with a finish to match the Kanso handle. 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.

They all fit in the solid wood block-with room to expand. There are two additional slots, plus one to accommodate a handy pair of kitchen shears.

Blade Construction: AUS10A-high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel. Full tang, provides strength & balance. Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade (32° comprehensive).
