Cooking knife with a blade length of 20 cm from KAI's Shun Premier series. 33-layer blade with hard VG10 steel in the core and sides in softer steel. HRC of 61. Handle in Pakkawood with walnut character. Classic chef's knife suitable for many things in the kitchen! Pieces of meat, vegetables, root vegetables etc. The Shun Premier is, like all other knives from KAI, a craft. The blades of the knives have a core of the hard steel VG10 that has been hardened to an extreme sharpness, hence the warning text on the packaging, "Use at your own risk". The core is then surrounded by 16 layers of a softer steel on each side, resulting in a series of knives with 33 layers of steel. Unique to the Shun Premier series (and many other series from KAI) is that all hammering and processing of the blades is still done by hand. The knives that leave KAI's factories and are processed with these techniques are completely unique. You always get a knife that is not like any other.
