Shun Classic Blonde Nakiri Knife: 6.5-inch VG-MAX Stainless Steel Blade, Handcrafted in Japan

Revised Content:

The nakiri's most distinctive feature is its unique blade shape. Characterized by a squared-off tip and a straight cutting edge, this kitchen knife is undoubtedly eye-catching. In Japan, the nakiri is a specialized vegetable knife, designed to handle a wide range of produce with exceptional ease. Unlike a rocking cut, the nakiri is best used with a simple push-cut motion. This straighter edge allows for more of the blade to contact the cutting board with each slice, resulting in remarkably efficient chopping and dicing.

The nakiri's shorter 6.5-inch length and squared tip also contribute to its exceptional control and precision. The Shun Classic Blonde Nakiri is a stunning addition to the Shun Classic Blonde series, making it a perfect complement to any kitchen.

This versatile, Japanese-style vegetable knife features a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core that is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, strong, and fine-grained – allowing it to maintain a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16-degree edge on each side. It is further enhanced by 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 layers in total), which support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade.

For added comfort and durability, the D-shaped handle is crafted from ebony-finished Pakkawood, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed users. The full composite tang ensures a light weight and perfect balance, further contributing to the knife's exceptional handling and performance.
