The Santoku is as easy to use as a chefs knife and is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut). Slightly shorter than the standard chefs knife, the Shun Premier Santoku is light, agile, and very easy to manoeuvre. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the Premier Santoku's versatility.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eMany cooks swear by their Santoku for top performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Shun Premier knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Technique: \u003c\/strong\u003eKai knives are designed to be used in a smooth, slicing motion - never in an up and down “chopping”, piercing or stabbing motion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease do not use Kai knives on:\u003c\/strong\u003e hard materials such as bones, joints, frozen foods or very hard vegetables like pumpkin.

A good cutting board will help retain a sharp edge for substantially longer. Wood, wood composite and polyethylene boards are all excellent choices. Tile, ceramic, marble, granite, or any kind of glass cutting boards are poor choices and are very hard on your knives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wash your blades with gentle dish soap.

We do not recommend storing the knives unsheathed in a drawer, as this can be a potential hazard to the blades as well as your fingers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSharpening:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to maximise the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun Honing Steel will be necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen these premium blades, we recommend using a Kai Seki Magoroku Whetstone, or sending your knives to a professional sharpener. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kai Shun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354088423582,"sku":"KAISPS18","price":379.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1150\/6582\/files\/TDM0702_1440x_jpg.webp?v=1780527685","url":"https:\/\/orient-nz.com\/products\/shun-premier-chefs-knife-18cm","provider":"Orient: Homeware + Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
