{"id":10187583363,"title":"Shun Kanso - 8\" Chef's Knife","handle":"shun-kanso-8-chef-s-knife-swt0706","description":"The chef's knife is the one knife no cook can be without. So if you like the looks of Kanso, the Shun Kanso 8-inch Chef's Knife is a must-have. This all-purpose knife is ideal for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The 8-inch length is perfect for preparing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and a wide variety of other foods. The Kanso Chef's Knife is based on its Asian counterpart, the gyuto. It offers a wider heel, a fairly flat profile toward the heel—perfect for push cuts—but we also gave it a little belly from mid-blade toward the tip so that it can be gently \"rocked\" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. The taguyasan-wood handles are slightly contoured, enabling an easy and comfortable chef's grip while cutting. Shun Kanso 8-inch Chef's Knife is part of the Shun Kanso series. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means \"simplicity,\" but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, we 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 tagayasan wood, sometimes known 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 each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food's freshness and best taste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted in Japan\u003cbr\u003eFree Lifetime Sharpening \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shun.kaiusaltd.com\/warranty\/form\"\u003eClick here for Warranty and Sharpening request form\u003c\/a\u003e - SWT0706 - 2 - B225-2","published_at":"2017-05-03T17:10:42-04:00","created_at":"2017-05-03T17:10:43-04:00","vendor":"Shun","type":"Chef's Knives","tags":["Brand_Shun","Category_Chef's Knives","Color_","Country_JP","Customization_","ItemType_Chef's Knives","Sale_Kitchen"],"price":12995,"price_min":12995,"price_max":12995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":16300,"compare_at_price_min":16300,"compare_at_price_max":16300,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":38081506051,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"SWT0706","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Shun Kanso - 8\" Chef's Knife","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":12995,"weight":907,"compare_at_price":16300,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"087171044361","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.chefsarsenal.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/shun-kanso-8-chef-s-knife-swt0706_97020430-6b8a-4994-a759-2f9fa0559b2a.jpg?v=1569206395"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.chefsarsenal.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/shun-kanso-8-chef-s-knife-swt0706_97020430-6b8a-4994-a759-2f9fa0559b2a.jpg?v=1569206395","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Shun Kanso 8\" Chef's Knife","id":1556101759075,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1400,"width":1400,"src":"\/\/www.chefsarsenal.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/shun-kanso-8-chef-s-knife-swt0706_97020430-6b8a-4994-a759-2f9fa0559b2a.jpg?v=1569206395"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1400,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.chefsarsenal.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/shun-kanso-8-chef-s-knife-swt0706_97020430-6b8a-4994-a759-2f9fa0559b2a.jpg?v=1569206395","width":1400}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"The chef's knife is the one knife no cook can be without.
