Shun Cutlery Premier Series 5.5" Nakiri Vegetable Cleaver Knife TDM0742 - 69 Layer Hammered Damascus VG-Max Core Blade & Brown Walnut Pakkawood Handle | Handcrafted in Japan

The Shun Premier Series is made up of a line of truly beautiful Japanese-made kitchen cutlery. Defined by their hammered Damascus blades and walnut Pakkawood handles, these knives are just asking to be displayed on a wall-magnet in your kitchen. Now, the blade isn't all for show, with a VG-MAX core covered by 68 micro layers of Damascus, it comes super strong and resilient, while holding an edge incredibly well. The hammered "Tsuchime" finish on the Damascus not only looks great, but acts as a hollow edge, releasing the suction of foods off of your blade easily. Handcrafted in Japan, you really cannot go wrong with anything from Shun, but their Premier Series is where you start to really see the magic that they offer. 

The Nakiri knife is a Japanese style vegetable cleaver. Rather than using a santoku for a rocking motion, the nakiri blade allows for easy chopping and push-cutting. Additionally, these knives are a bit safer to have around the house due to the blunt-tip design. This model here, TDM0742, is the Shun 5.5" Nakiri, coming with a walnut colored Pakkawood handle and a hammered VG-MAX core Damascus clad blade.
