Overview
The Shun Classic 6.5-Inch Nakiri Knife is built for vegetable prep with a refined edge and striking surface. Its VG-MAX core paired with dense Damascus-clad layering delivers sharp, precise cuts while showcasing a pattern-forged aesthetic reminiscent of traditional craftsmanship. This knife blends performance with beauty, offering a tool that feels thoughtful in your hand and impressive on your counter.
Materials and Craftsmanship
At the heart is a VG-MAX core, wrapped by 68 layers of Damascus-clad steel on each side. The result is enduring sharpness and a surface with depth and character. The blade features a 16-degree edge for clean, controlled slices, while the D-shaped PakkaWood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip. An offset stainless-steel bolster supports ergonomic balance, and a stainless end cap completes the refined finish.
Performance and Feel
With an approximately 11-inch overall length, the nakiri blade glides through vegetables with minimal resistance. Its balanced design reduces wrist strain and is suitable for both left- and right-handed use, helping you maintain consistent cuts, whether you’re slicing onions, carrots, or leafy greens.
