From the makers of Japan's finest cutlery comes the Shun Premier collection with a unique new tsuchime finish. The nakiri knife's hand-hammered texture creates ripples with an effect similar to hollow-ground, reducing drag for a gliding cut and quick release while slicing, dicing and paring. The uniquely blunt-tipped vegetable knife gives you power and precise control. A durable VG-MAX steel core is clad with 34 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side for maximum strength and stability. Infused with resin, the contoured blonde birch handle nestles comfortably in the hand. The stainless handle cap embossed with the Shun logo adds balance and beauty.
