Description
Shun Premier knives are a testament to the beauty and artistry of Japanese knife making.
The Shun Premier Nakiri knife always draws attention due to its unusual shape. “Nakiri” simply means “vegetable knife” in Japanese. Because of its straight rectangular shape, the Nakiri isn’t rocked like a European chef’s knife. Instead, use a push cut action by moving the knife down and forward while keeping the edge parallel to the board. The fine straight edge makes this knife a natural choice for cutting vegetables as the unique shape allows for incredibly fine and delicate cutting.
The blade profile works in concert with the tsuchime (hammered pattern) finish to allow the knife to glide through the food effortlessly. And the contoured ambidextrous PakkaWood handle will fit snugly in your hand for a secure grip.
Shun Premier knives feature a hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade made with 68 layers of stainless steel Damascus cladding surrounding a VG-MAX carbon steel core.
Hardened to 60° Rockwell.
Comes beautifully gift boxed.
Handwash only.
