Shun Kanso 3 Pc Starter Knife Set CUTLERY

Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means “simplicity” but it is a simplicity that is achieved by concentrating solely on what is most essential. When it comes to Shun’s Kanso cutlery, essential means high-performance steel, a razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control.

Kanso is simple – and beautiful – kitchen cutlery that simply performs. 

Tagayasan Wood Handle

Known as “iron sword wood” – the Kanso line features a Tagayasan Wood handle that is notable for its denseness, durability, and simple beauty while providing easy cutting control. The handle is also angled for a comfortable chef’s grip and precision cutting.
