The KAI Shun 17cm Cleaver/Chopper Knife

A sturdy cleaver with some weight behind it, ideal for jointing meat, and other heavy duty kitchen tasks.

The slim handle made of durable pakkawood is fashioned in a traditional Japanese chestnut shape. High quality resins added to the wood make the material particularly resilient and resistant to moisture. Its typical chestnut shape ensures a comfortable and secure grip whilst cutting, thanks to a small rim on its right side. The integrated tang boosts stability and balance.

Aus-8A steel with a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC forms the entire blade, giving strength to this bone slicing knife 

  • Premium Series
  • Handmade in Japan
  • Rockwell Hardness 61 (±1)
  • Pakkawood Handle
  • AUS-8A Steel

The Shun Classic Series unites centuries-old Japanese Samurai blacksmithing with today's modern and technically-sophisticated manufacturing processes. The result is an exceedingly high-quality range of Damascus knives, engineered with attention to the most minute details and designed to always retain its sharpness. The knives are therefore ideally suited for professional use. The Shun Classic blades are gorgeous to look at due to the distinctive semigloss pattern exhibited by the Damascus steel composite comprising 32 layers. This combination with the elegant, tapering handle made of black pakkawood, results in an overall aesthetic design that puts quality and functionality at its core.
