Professional Nakiri Knife for Vegetables and All-Purpose Cooking, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife

Enhance your kitchen collection with the addition of the renowned Shun Cutlery Classic 6.5" Nakiri Knife, a popular choice for vegetable and fruit prep. This Japanese-style knife features a straight blade, edge, and spine, perfect for effortless push cuts – ideal for various dishes from stir-fry to salads. Its design also makes it a versatile chef's knife suitable for various tasks. The tip of the blade is intentionally blunt for added safety during use.

Crafted with precision, the Classic Nakiri Knife boasts Shun's exclusive VG-Max cutting core enveloped by 68 layers of stainless Damascus cladding. This results in a resilient, corrosion-resistant, and stain-resistant blade with a razor-sharp 16-degree edge that effortlessly slices through ingredients. The handle is made of ebony-finished Pakkawood, featuring a D-shaped design that ensures comfort and control for both right- and left-handed individuals while remaining hygienic.

Shun knives are crafted from VG-10 stainless steel, known for its superior hardness, flexibility, and durability compared to traditional steel blends. The VG-10 core is complemented by 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on either side, totaling 33 layers. This not only protects the core but also creates a stunning surface reminiscent of Damascus steel, often seen on ancient Samurai swords. The result is a visually appealing blade akin to antique Damascus knives but with improved resistance to rust.

The 6.5-inch blade is well-suited for precise slicing and dicing tasks, particularly favored by smaller users due to its Asian-inspired design. The D-shaped handle provides stability and prevents twisting, ensuring a secure grip during use. Made of PakkaWood, a resilient blend of hardwood veneers infused with waterproof resin, the handle combines the classic look of wood with the durability of plastic. For added comfort and safety, the knife features an ergonomic stainless-steel bolster and end cap.

To maintain its pristine condition, hand washing is recommended for this Nakiri knife. Measuring approximately 11 by 2 inches, it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Embrace the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese cutlery with the versatile and high-quality Shun Classic Nakiri Knife, a must-have for any culinary enthusiast.
