Shun / Michel Bras
The Michel Bras Knife Series is an exclusive and luxurious series of kitchen knives, developed in collaboration between KAI and the famous French chef Michel Bras. The series is inspired by Michel Bras' philosophy of creating simple but perfect meals, and combines Japanese knife art with French gastronomy.
This knife series is known for its high quality, functionality and beautiful design, which makes it a popular choice among both professional chefs and enthusiastic home cooks.
Design and Quality
The knives in the KAI Shun Michel Bras series are made of VG-MAX Damascus steel , which is a very durable and hard material that ensures extra sharpness and long-lasting cutting ability. This steel grade is known for its ability to maintain its sharpness for a longer period of time, making the knives very effective for precision cutting.
The blades are made with layers of Damascus steel , giving the knives their characteristic beautiful pattern that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The many layers make the blade strong and resistant to rust, while also giving the knives an impressive appearance reminiscent of works of art.
Handles and Ergonomics
The handle of the Michel Bras series knives is designed with both comfort and aesthetics in mind. It is made of pakka wood , a composite material that is both durable and resistant to moisture. The handle has an ergonomic D-shape , which makes it easier to hold the knife in your hand and provides a good grip even when working for long periods of time. This shape is specifically designed to reduce fatigue and provide maximum control and precision while cutting.
A unique detail of the handle is the beautiful, polished area that creates an elegant transition between the blade and the handle, supporting the overall luxurious aesthetic. The handle is not only functional, but also an artistic element that reflects the high standard that the series represents.
