Shun Kanso Brisket Slicer Knife, 12"

Influenced by the Zen principle of simplicity, the Shun Kanso collection was designed with only the indispensable elements in mind: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edges, perfect balance and precision handling. Plainly put: With this knife, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous. Ideal for trimming and slicing larger cuts of meat, Shun's Kanso brisket knife features a long, narrow blade that slices meat in a single pass, ensuring that more of the juices and flavor stay inside the meat. A perfect tool for a barbecue or family feast, it makes easy work of carving turkey, ham and brisket.

• Long, narrow blade enables an elegant slice in a single pass.
• Rounded tip makes the knife safer and easier to use.
• Blade of highly refined, high-carbon vanadium stainless steel takes and holds a razor-sharp edge.
• Heritage-finish blade provides a rustic look that hides scratches and improves with age.
• Angled handle is made of dark tagayasan, known as "iron sword wood," an extremely dense wood traditionally used to make Samurai sword handles.
• Includes wooden saya, a protective beechwood sheath.
• Handcrafted in Japan.

• 12"-long blade.
• 5"-long handle.
• 3.8 oz.
• Full-tang construction for balance and strength.

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
