Hi Dean,
Kai Shun developed and marketed a series of knives with American designers that are intended to be a fusion of American and Japanese thinking about kitchen knives for the home cook. I had already been using a Kai Japanese nakiri I had been given in Japan for more than 20 years, so I began trying and using various models of Shun–some marketed only in the United States.
Most recent was a birthday present 8 1/2" Shun Fuji Chef’s knife:
I like it very much.
