Shun Classic 6 1/2-inch Nakiri Knife

Shun Classic 6 1/2-Inch Nakiri Knife. DM0728. Specialty Knives. Shun Classic knives combine traditional Japanese style with the superb performance of Damascus steel and the elegance of ebony PakkaWood handles. Damascus steel blades are known for being tough and resistant to shattering, as well as their capability of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge. Pakkawood is constructed of carefully selected foreign and domestic hardwood veneers which undergo a process that creates multiple fused layers of treated hardwoods, making a weather, bacteria and moisture resistant handle that is dimensionally stable. This knife features full-tang construction for added strength and balance. The 6 1/2-inch blade on this Nakiri (vegetable) knife gives you better control to efficiently slice and chop fruit and vegetables of all kinds. The blade design reduces blade-to-food sticking, making prep time quicker, and the balance point between the handle and blade enhances precision. The unique combination of a VG-10 stainless steel cutting core and 32 layers of Damascus steel creates an incredibly sharp, strong blade with unmatched edge retention. The D-shaped handle is designed to fit perfectly into the curve of your grip for a comfortable hold, and the stainless steel accents add a unique finishing touch. Each Shun Classic blade features the Shun logo emblazoned onto the side, and should be hand washed to preserve the quality.

This stunningly beautiful line of classic cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.
