The word "Kanso" means "simplicity." Each kitchen knife in the Shun Kanso line has a full tang and is made from Japanese AUS-10A carbon steel. The handles are tagayasan (or wenge) wood, which is known for its iron-like hardness and beauty. Shun Kanso: simply built, simply functional, and simply beautiful. Made in Japan.

This knife serves as a bridge between the paring knife and the chef's knife. It is capable of the delicate cuts required by some fruits and vegetables and can process fish and other small meats with ease.
