Description: For sale is one new and gift-boxed: Shun Kaji 7.5" Hollow Ground Sumo Santoku Knife, model KDM0034; made in Japan. This knife is not a return or factory-second, nor is it defective in any way. Shun's premium line, the Kaji series, brings forth unmatched performance and elegance that must be experienced to be believed, rivaling above that of even their Classic knives. I've yet to encounter any cutlery that feels so natural, looks so good, or performs so well. The Santoku, whose name means 'three virtues,' is considered one of the most versatile knives and will be found useful in any kitchen. This Sumo Santoku earns its name for extra width. It excels at cutting through larger foods, such as whole eggplant, yet is just as comfortable to use on a scallion. Those familiar with the advantages of a Chinese vegetable cleaver will find this knife can be pushed through food in a similar manner while keeping the knuckles away from the cutting surface. Whether to start or supplement a set, this knife is certain to change your culinary experience just as it has for professional chefs worldwide. Product Description:Shun crafts their Kaji Santoku Knives with the exotic SG-2 powdered steel as a cutting core, but then goes a step further by cladding it in a true Damascus pattern cover. This is incredibly difficult and labor intensive because the Damascus process involves the folding together of two different types of metals; in this case, nickel alloy and high-carbon steel. So, unlike the other Shun lines, there are actually three types of metal in the blade instead of two. The Kaji's SG-2 powdered steel is processed using a special method known as hot isostatic press which yields an alloy with a much higher density and grain structure and no imperfections or weak points, permitting an impressive Rockwell hardness of 64. SG-2 is simply unmatched in performance, edge-retention, and re-sharpening. Shun Kaji also feature full-tang construction, ebony-black PakkaWood handles, stainless steel bolsters, and stainless steel end-caps embossed with the Shun logo.Details & Features: Seven and One-Half-Inch Hollow-Ground/Scalloped Sumo Santoku Knife, model KDM-0034Blade constructed with a core of SG-2 powdered steel clad in a true Damascus layer of forged nickel and stainless steel.Double Hollow-Ground (one side) Slight patterning coupled with the hollow-ground blade helps keep cut food from sticking.Ambidextrous ebony PakkaWood handle (resin-impregnated hardwood) is designed for comfort and control.NSF certified for use in commercial kitchens.Hand-crafted in Seki City Japan, the home of Shun knives.Hand washing recommended.
