Embrace the essence of simplicity and functionality with the Shun Kanso 7" Hollow Ground Santoku Knife. Rooted in the Japanese design principle of 'Kanso', meaning simplicity, this knife eliminates the non-essential, focusing solely on performance and precision. Crafted in Seki City, Japan, the blade is forged from AUS10A high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel, offering exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The hollow-ground indentations reduce friction and prevent food from sticking, enhancing cutting efficiency. Its contoured tagayasan wood handle, known as "iron sword wood," provides a comfortable, secure grip, ensuring ease of use during extended kitchen prep. The heritage finish not only adds a rustic aesthetic but also hides scratches, maintaining the knife's appearance over time.​
