Slicing brisket or other large cuts of meat has never been easier than with the Shun Kanso Hollow Ground Brisket Knife. Generously sized, it effortlessly slices through large roasts and meat without the need for a sawing action. The hollow ground feature aids in glide, keeping the meat from sticking to the blade. The Shun Kanso Brisket Knife includes a Saya or sheath for storage 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 Degree cutting angle each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food's freshness and best taste. Hand-crafted in Seki City, Japan, Kanso is essential simplicity: a simple kitchen knife that simply performs.
