The Shun Kanso 6-inch Utility Knife is perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Due to its smaller size, many cooks prefer it as an alternative to the chefâ€™s knife. The slightly curved belly enables it to do moderate rocking cuts. Itâ€™s nimble enough to peel an onion in hand, then slice it up in short order. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwichâ€”from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses. The Shun Kanso 6-inch Utility Knife is part of the Shun Kanso series. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means â€œsimplicity,â€ but simplicity that is achieved by eliminating the non-essential. In Kanso, we took away anything that doesnâ€™t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10Aâ€”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 â€œiron 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 16Â° cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve foodâ€™s freshness and best taste. Hand-crafted in Seki City, Japan, Kanso is essential simplicity: a simple kitchen knife that simply performs.
