A characteristic feature of this line is the asymmetrical sharpening, as per Japanese tradition.\nThe Bunmei consists of 4 basic models made in different sizes: the Usuba for cutting vegetables; the Deba, the traditional Japanese axe, used for precision cuts but also for breaking small bones or bones; the Yanagi Sashimi and the Taco Sashimi for filleting fish thanks to the long, narrow blade.\nSharpened on both sides. Thanks to the sandblasting of the blade, food does not stick. This is why Japanese chefs predominantly use this type of knife.

With highest quality standards, KAI has made it its mission to produce special knives for everyday use.

Its incredible cutting performance and its traditional Japanese design make it a knife of great quality for professional and home cooks. It is the perfect knife for cutting all types of fruits and vegetables with the minimum effort required. It features a 12cm stainless steel blade set in a beautiful, natural cherry wood handle, and comes complete with a matching wooden sheath.\n \nKey Features:\n- Japanese styled fruit knife\n- Blade length: 12cm\n- Blade material: Stainless steel\n- Handle and sheath material: Natural wood (cherry)\n \nCleaning- Rinse the knives in hot water before using them for the first time. After each use, make sure that the knives are washed without delay (with a mild detergent) and dried off with a soft cloth. Acidic foods in particular should be rinsed off immediately after use.\n- For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from the cutting edge with a cloth or towel.\n- Knives do not belong in the dishwasher, under any circumstances. Always wash the knives by hand to protect the material and maintain long-lasting sharpness.\nSharpening \u0026amp; Care- Ensure that all knives with natural wooden handles do not remain in the water for too long. Oil the handle from time to time with a little neutral vegetable or camellia oil.\n- It is also advisable to have the knives professionally resharpened from time to time to repair signs of wear on the cutting edge and to ensure lasting sharpness.\n- Due to the high degree of hardness of our knives, sharpening steels are completely unsuitable. From the traditional whetstone to a complete electric system, our range offers the right tool for each of our knives.\nStoring- When storing the knives, make sure that the blade does not come into contact with other metallic objects. This way, common causes of damage and staining can be avoided.\n- The best way to store the knives is in a knife block, in a wooden drawer insert, on a wooden magnetic knife rack, or in the drawer with a blade guard or sheath.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kai Shun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42323507675230,"sku":"DG-3002","price":340.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4600\/6878\/files\/GetImageNoResize_1a3d1f7b-00b3-47a1-af0a-eeded35ec010.jpg?v=1767617779"},{"product_id":"kai-shun-classic-utility-knife-15cm-left-handed","title":"#Kai Shun Classic Utility Knife 15cm - Left-Handed#","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over 115 years, the KAI company has been producing cutlery in the traditional of legendary samurai of ancient Japan.
