Influenced by the Zen principle of simplicity, the Shun Kanso collection was designed with only the most essential elements in mind: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edges, perfect balance and precision handling. The nakiri knife (Japanese for "vegetable knife") features an ultra-sharp hollow-ground blade with indentations that reduce friction and minimize sticking. Shaped like a cleaver, this efficient knife chops, slices and minces fresh fruits and vegetables with ease.
- Blade is crafted of highly refined, high-carbon vanadium stainless steel that takes and holds a razor-sharp edge.
- Razor-sharp 16-degree blade edge ensures precise cutting with maximum control.
- Heritage-finish blade hides scratches and improves with age.
- Full tang guarantees superb balance and ease of use.
- Angled handle is made of dark tagayasan, known as "iron sword wood," an extremely dense wood traditionally used to make Samurai sword handles.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
