KAI Shun Nagare Black Ham Knife 23 cm - Damascus Steel - Handle Pakkawood Black

KAI Shun Nagare Knives

Shun Nagare is KAI’s top series and impresses with excellent sharpness combined with particularly great handling. The special feature of the KAI Shun Nagare knives is the dual-core blade, which is produced using an innovative forging process. Through the dual-core process the two stainless steel grades VG-10 and VG-2 are processed into a 72-layer Damascus steel. The combination of the flexible and resilient VG-2 steel and the particularly hard VG-10 steel results in a Rockwell hardness of 61±1. In addition to the distinctive appearance of the radiating Damascus pattern, the double-bevelled blades of the Nagare knives offer excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention.

The ergonomically shaped handles sit particularly comfortably in the hand thanks to their soft, rounded lines. The riveted handle scales made of grey-black marbled or black Pakkawood from the Japanese pine — an impregnated and especially durable wood veneer — give the knife warmth and a premium feel.
