With 32 layers of Damascus steel around a VG-MAX core, I see this product as built for anyone who takes seriously what ends up on the table. The 23 cm blade gives me exactly enough length to slice a roast or entrecote into even, thin slices without tearing or pushing. The D-shaped Pakkahout handle feels immediately right in my hand, even when I'm working with it for a while. Japanese craftsmanship at this level means I can keep this knife sharp for years with normal maintenance, and it only gets more beautiful with use. For anyone who takes meat seriously and wants to cut the way it should, this is a knife that proves itself to me every time.

FAQ

Can this meat knife be washed in the dishwasher?
No — hand wash the Kai Shun Classic Vleesmes. Japanese knives of this calibre — with a VG-MAX steel blade surrounded by 32 layers of Damascus steel — deserve careful cleaning. Over time the dishwasher will damage both the blade and the Pakkahout handle. Use warm water, a mild dish soap and a soft cloth, and dry the knife thoroughly right away.
How do I keep the blade as sharp as possible for as long as possible?
With proper care this knife will stay sharp for years. A few concrete tips: • Sharpen or touch up regularly with a whetstone or ceramic sharpening rod suitable for Japanese steel — the cutting angle of Shun knives differs from European knives. • Use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces like glass or stone damage the thin blade. • Store the knife safely, preferably on a magnetic strip or in a knife block. Tossing it loosely in a drawer will damage the edge. VG-MAX steel is exceptionally hard, which results in longer intervals between sharpenings.
Is the D-shaped handle also comfortable for left-handers?
The Pakkahout handle of the Kai Shun Classic has a D-shaped profile that is specifically designed for right-handed users. The asymmetrical shape fits the right hand optimally. Left-handers may find this knife less comfortable for prolonged use. Kai offers left-handed variants for some models in the Shun Classic line — check at purchase whether such a version is available if you are left-handed.
What is the difference between VG-MAX steel and regular stainless steel?
VG-MAX is a premium Japanese stainless steel that is harder than standard stainless steel. That makes a practical difference: • Higher hardness provides a finer and sharper cutting edge. • Better edge retention: the knife stays sharp longer without re-sharpening. • 32 layers of Damascus steel around it increase corrosion resistance and give the knife its characteristic wavy pattern. Regular stainless steel is softer, easier to work with and cheaper, but holds an edge for less time.
What exactly is included in the packaging?
The packaging contains the Kai Shun Classic Vleesmes with a 23 cm blade. No sharpening stone, protective sheath or other accessory is included. If you want to store or maintain the knife properly right away, you can purchase a knife block, magnetic strip or sharpening product separately.
