With the KAI Shun Classic 7.9 in Chef’s Knife, every slice becomes a precise, effortless gesture. The Granton edge (hollow-ground indentations) along the blade creates small air pockets, reducing friction and preventing food from sticking—perfect for clean, consistent cuts and efficient prep.

The result: long-lasting sharpness with a stunning, rippling finish. The black pakkawood handle is moisture-resistant and ergonomically shaped for a secure, comfortable grip—even during extended use.
