The Kanso 12" Hollow Ground Brisket Slicing Knife is ideal for trimming and slicing larger cuts of meat, including brisket, roasts, ham, and turkey. The high-performance Japanese AUS10A blade is highly refined, high carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. The brisket knife’s long, narrow blade makes it easy to slice larger cuts of meat in a single pass to ensure more of the juices and flavor stay inside the meat. The long, razor-sharp blade ensures slices will look beautiful, too, since there’s no need to saw back and forth. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help food release more easily and the rounded tip makes the knife safer and easier to use. The included wooden saya, or sheath, protects the blade and makes it simple to transport to a barbeque or celebration taking place away from home. This Shuns brisket slicing knife is part of the Shun kaiso series. Kanso is a design principle based on zen philosophy. It means “simplicity,” but simplicity is achieved by eliminating the nonessential. In keno, QKA/Shun 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 a wood called Tagayasan or wenge, which is sometimes known in Japan 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 on each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.
Awesome knife and so happy I bought it. Like using a hot knife through butter when slicing. Great weight and comfortable handle.. Rick F.. Wed Jan 10 2024
