Shun Premier Nakiri

The Nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife designed specifically for chopping, slicing, and dicing produce. Its straight blade geometry is optimized for a push-cut motion, making it highly efficient for preparing vegetables for salads or stir-fries.

The hammered Tsuchime finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food being cut. This helps reduce friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the knife, allowing for faster, smoother chopping.

VG-MAX is a high-performance, high-carbon stainless steel that provides superior wear resistance and edge retention. It allows the blade to maintain a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel knives.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the integrity of the Damascus steel and the blonde Pakkawood handle, you should always hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use.

The ergonomic blonde Pakkawood handle is shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip. Its balance and contouring offer excellent control, which is essential for the repetitive motion of chopping vegetables.
