The Kai Shun Pro Sho series kitchen knives have a VG10 steel blade that is hardened to an extremely high value of 61 HRC. Combined with the special grinding shape in which one side is sharpened while the other is made hollow, these knives are a real pleasure to work with. They really are like razor blades. Ergonomically they are at the level known by Kai Shun. The asymmetrical black laminated Pakka wood handles fall perfectly in the hand.

The blade of Kai Shun Pro Sho knives is sandblasted on the right side, which results in a matte surface. The other side is polished to a brilliant shape and shows a pattern made with an innovative drawing technique. A unique detail. That the handle passes seamlessly through the steel is not unique for Kai Shun. This is what you can expect from these knives.
