What makes Japanese chef knives unique?
Japanese knives combine traditional techniques, advanced technology, and generations of steel expertise. They are thinner, harder, and sharper, essential qualities for a superior kitchen knife. With their slim, sharp edges and durable steel, Japanese knives maintain their sharpness longer.
How do I choose the right Japanese blade?
To pick a Japanese knife, first identify your cooking requirements. Are you after a versatile general knife or a specialised one like a sushi or vegetable knife? Think about the tasks you'll perform and select a knife tailored for those specific uses.
How do you take care of a Japanese Knife?
Whether your knife is high-carbon steel or stainless steel, always wash it with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge and dry it immediately after each use. Avoid air drying, especially for high-carbon steel knives, to prevent rusting.
Can one Japanese knife handle all kitchen tasks?
Yes! The KAI Shun Classic Chef Knife design coupled with expert craftsmanship, allows the knife to handle all kitchen tasks with unmatched precision and ease, making it a versatile tool for any culinary challenge.

Difference between single and double-bevel Japanese cutlery?
A single-bevel knife has one angled edge, and a double-bevel knife has two angled edges, one on each side. The bevel's angle influences cutting, with sharper angles offering a finer edge but making the knife more delicate.
How often should you sharpen Japanese knives?
It's advised to sharpen your Japanese knife every few months to keep it sharp and perform at its best. If you use the knife often, you might need to sharpen it more frequently.
