Kai Shun have cult status the world over for the quality, craftmanship and the sheer beauty of their knives. The 15cm Chef's Knife is a neater size in the hand for those who find the 20cm Chef's Knife too cumbersome. It is in short, more nimble. A Chef's Knife is a must-have in your collection and this will be one of your crowning blades that can be used for all types of tasks. The 34 layers of folded Damascus Steel on each side (68 in total) sit on a core layer of VG Max Steel which is one of the toughest and most resistant steels avaiable. The tang of the knife extends all the way down through the pakkawood handle giving it extra balance and strength. This knife will bring renewed ease and pleasure to your cooking.    Cleaning and Care Tips: Do not put your knife in the dishwasher. Store either in a knife block, in a drawer or ideally on a magnetic knife rack.  Wash your blade with hot water before first use and dry thoroughly. Use a wooden or synthetic board for chopping. Stone or glass will dull your blade. After slicing through acidic foodstuffs such as lemons, limes or tomatoes, wash and dry your knife straight away, because if left, the acids will begin to damage the steel, leaving spots.  Dimensions: 15cm
