Shun Dual Core 6.5" Nakiri Knife with Saya
Precision. Balance. Perfection. The Ultimate Japanese Vegetable Knife 🥬
The Shun Dual Core 6.5" Nakiri Knife with Saya is the essential tool for anyone who loves working with fresh produce. This Japanese-style vegetable knife features a flat-edged blade that excels at chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, fruits, and herbs with clean, effortless precision.
The blunt tip adds safety, while the wide blade provides ample surface for scooping ingredients from board to pan. Its unique push-cut motion ensures efficiency—simply glide the knife down and forward for fast, precise cuts. Loved by both professional chefs and home cooks, this Nakiri embodies Shun’s tradition of elegance and functionality. 🌸
Each knife includes a beautiful wooden Saya (sheath) for protection and storage, making it a showpiece in any kitchen.
✨ Dual Core Damascus Craftsmanship
The Shun Dual Core Series represents a groundbreaking achievement in Japanese blade-making. Crafted from 71 alternating micro-layers of high-carbon, high-chromium VG10 and VG2 stainless steels, this Damascus blade combines the best of both worlds—incredible strength and long-lasting sharpness.
The two steels wear at slightly different rates during use, forming natural micro-serrations that keep the edge razor-sharp for longer. The etched herringbone Damascus pattern not only enhances performance by reducing drag but also gives the knife its stunning, rippled appearance. ⚙️
The octagonal ebony PakkaWood® handle provides a comfortable, secure grip, while the rabbet tang construction—inspired by samurai sword design—enhances maneuverability and perfect balance. 🖤
