Shun Premier 5.5″ Nakiri Knife | Grey

The Shun Premier Collection is striking, strong, and sophisticated. Each Shun Premier blade is crafted of 68 micro-thin layers of Damascus steel that have been hand-hammered using a Japanese process called tsuchime, which gives Shun’s knife blades their beautiful ripple-effect finish while creating an incredibly smooth surface that helps release food seamlessly. Shun Premier knives are built with a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core that is extremely hard, providing intense durability and a fine sharp edge for precision cutting. Lightweight and ultra-sharp, each knife is balanced with a contoured moisture-resistant Pakkawood handle with a stainless steel end cap for perfect balance and a luxuriously rustic look.

In Japanese, the word “nakiri” translates to “vegetable knife.” Perfect for slicing and dicing vegetables and meats, the Shun Premier 5.5” Nakiri Knife has a large and wide surface with a straight blade, edge, and spine, allowing you to safely and efficiently cut food. The Nakiri knife is extremely practical and a great addition to any cutlery collection.
