Shun Kazahana Chef's Knife, 20cm
We teamed up with Shun – Japan's leading blade manufacturer – to create an exclusive line of kitchen knives that combine high-performance blades with stunning polished finishes. Handcrafted in Japan, the full-tang blades are laser cut of high-carbon vanadium stainless steel to maintain their razor-sharp edges longer than traditional blades. Gently curved PakkaWood handles feel especially balanced in hand, with rivets that secure the blade for added strength. The chef's knife is a kitchen staple for everything from cutting and slicing to dicing and chopping.
- High-carbon Japanese AUS10Avanadium stainless steel blades.
- Exceedingly sharp cutting edges are long lasting and easy to maintain.
- Fine satin finish promotes superior food release and reduces drag while cutting.
- High-polished PakkaWood® handles resist moisture and reduce abrasiveness.
- Double-tang construction enhances strength and balance between blade and handle.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
- 20 cm blade, 18 cm handle.
- Made in Japan.
Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- Please do not use Shun knives on bones, joints or frozen foods. Most Shun knives are designed for precision slicing rather than crushing down through hard materials. However, Shun does make specialised knives designed to take on these types of tasks.
Care
- Handwash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Maintain the knife's cutting edge by regularly using a honing steel.
- Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, your knife should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Sometimes products may arrive separately but you will only be charged one delivery fee per order. Also, products delivered separately may be sent via the delivery type of that product rather than the overall order. Please provide a street address for delivery — we cannot ship to PO Boxes.
