Description
Precision-Crafted for the Vegetable Lover's Kitchen
Imagine gliding through a pile of carrots, cabbage, and herbs with zero resistance — that's the Shun Classic Nakiri experience. Handcrafted in Japan, this 6.5-inch vegetable knife is built for cooks who demand razor-sharp performance and heirloom-quality craftsmanship in every cut.
Why the Shun Classic Nakiri?
-
Razor-Sharp VG-MAX Core: A proprietary steel alloy holds a precise 16° edge longer than standard stainless steel — less time sharpening, more time cooking.
-
68-Layer Damascus Cladding: Each blade is wrapped in 68 layers of high-carbon stainless steel, creating the iconic wave pattern reminiscent of samurai sword-making tradition.
-
Flat Blade Profile: The Nakiri's straight edge makes full contact with the cutting board on every stroke — ideal for clean, uniform vegetable cuts without rocking.
-
D-Shaped Pakkawood Handle: Ebony-toned, moisture-resistant Pakkawood fits naturally in the hand and prevents twisting — comfortable for both right- and left-handed users.
-
Ergonomic Offset Bolster: Keeps fingers safely clear of the blade while providing a balanced, fatigue-free grip during extended prep sessions.
Built to Last a Lifetime
Every Shun Classic knife is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and Shun's free sharpening and honing service — just send it in and they'll restore the edge at no charge. Hand wash recommended to preserve the blade and handle.
