Chop, slice, or dice any fruit or vegetable like a pro with the beautifully designed and handcrafted Shun DM0728 Classic 6.5” Nakiri Knife.
Durable Blade
This stunning 6.5-inch blade has a VG-MAX steel cutting core with 34 outer layers of stainless steel that create the detailed Damascus design. The layered cladding supports and protects the extremely hard core, which helps keep the edge sharp use after use.
Comfortable Grip
The knife has a D-shaped ebony pakka wood handle that’s designed to tuck into the palm of your hand. It gives you the maximum amount of control over the knife by eliminating more of the space between your hand and the handle.
Design and Use
This classic Japanese vegetable knife has a unique shape with a blunt tip that makes it especially suitable for chopping up fruits and vegetables. With a straight blade, edge, and spine, the knife isn’t made to be rocked like you would a chef’s knife. Instead, it’s designed to be pushed or pulled smoothly through the vegetables.
The nakiri makes quick, precise work of any type of vegetable making it perfect for daily salad or stir fry preparations.
