Crafted within the Shun Kanso series, this 7-inch utility knife embodies the essence of Kanso - a design philosophy rooted in Zen. Kanso translates to "simplicity," achieved by eliminating unnecessary elements.

The steel's superior quality comes from its high-carbon, vanadium stainless composition, ensuring longevity.

The Kanso knife sports a Heritage finish that not only conceals scratches but also imparts a rustic charm that enhances with time. The handle, crafted from Tagayasan wood, renowned for its strength, beauty, and density, provides a comfortable chef's grip and supports the knife's full tang construction, granting stability and effortless cutting control.
