Shun Classic 6.5" (165mm) Nakiri Vegetable Knife
The Shun Classic 6.5 in. (165mm) Nakiri is the ultimate vegetable knife. The long, flat edge of the nakiri makes full contact with the cutting board in every cut, which improves your speed and greatly increases your efficiency in the kitchen. This is a great choice for anyone who like to tap chop. I especially like this knife shape for herbs, green onions, and mirepoix vegetables (celery, onions and carrots). You can use a nakiri to slice meat that has already been removed from the bone, but despite its similarity in appearance, this is not a cleaver. This knife really shines when preparing salad or stir-fry - you'll enjoy this blade tremendously, particularly when you have a lot of produce to process. Shun's VG-MAX steel holds an edge extremely well, which can be especially important when you're chopping as this cutting motion dulls a blade more quickly than your typical rocking cuts. Honing is not necessary, but if you like to maintain your knife with a steel we recommend paring this knife with a ceramic rod. Learn More$189.95 -
Shun Classic 7" Granton Edge Santoku Knife
Where Effortless Prep Meets Japanese Artistry Imagine shallots falling into a paper-thin mince with a single, whisper-quiet pass. Picture delicate herbs staying vibrant and green, never bruised. With the Shun Classic 7-inch Santoku, this level of precision isn't just possible—it's the new standard for your kitchen. Handcrafted in Seki City, the heart of Japanese knifemaking, this Santoku is an all-purpose powerhouse designed to be the ultimate extension of your hand. Its blade is shorter and wider than a traditional chef's knife, giving you extraordinary control for close, detailed work while being robust enough to handle the three virtues of a Santoku: slicing, dicing, and mincing. Discover the Shun Classic Difference: The Effortless Glide: Say goodbye to frustrating sticking. The hollow-ground dimples along the blade (the "Granton Edge") create tiny air pockets, allowing food to fall away seamlessly. You'll move through potatoes, onions, and proteins with unmatched speed and ease. A Wickedly Sharp, Lasting Edge: At the core is Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel." This incredibly hard, fine-grained steel is fortified with tungsten for toughness and extra chromium for corrosion resistance. It takes and holds a razor-sharp 16° edge far longer than other knives, meaning less time sharpening and more time creating. Beauty That Protects: The core is supported by 34 layers of Damascus steel on each side. This stunning, rippled pattern is not just for looks; it adds stain resistance, reduces drag, and protects the hard cutting core. Perfected Comfort and Control: Grasp the D-shaped PakkaWood handle and feel the difference. It’s designed for a comfortable, secure grip that resists moisture and provides nimble control for both right- and left-handed chefs. An Authentic Legacy of Craftsmanship: Each knife is a masterpiece, requiring over 100 handcrafted steps to complete. This is not just a tool, but an investment in the same quality and tradition trusted by professional chefs worldwide.
This is more than a knife; it's an invitation to elevate your craft. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a passionate home cook, the Shun Classic Santoku will transform your food preparation from a chore into a moment of pure culinary joy. Learn More$189.95 -
