NDC-0704 SHUN NAGARE Slicing Knife 23cm KAI JAPAN

Everything flows: The new kai SHUN Nagare Series

The blades are produced as part of an innovative dual-core process. For this, two steels are connected to 72 layers of Damask steel (61 (±1) HRC).

The combination of a flexible, durable VG-2 steel and an extremely hard-quality VG-10 steel gives the blade a long-lasting edge retention and excellent sharpness.

The ergonomically shaped handle lies comfortably in the hand with its soft, rounded lines.The riveted handles in gray-black mottled pakka-wood give warmth and valency to the knife.

The series was awarded with the German Design Award 2017 Special Mention
