KAI Shun Nagare Santoku 18 cm - Damascus Steel - Handle Pakkawood

KAI Shun Nagare Knives

Shun Nagare is the top series from KAI and amazes with its outstanding sharpness, paired with particularly great handling. The special feature of the KAI Shun Nagare knives is the dual-core blade, which is manufactured using an innovative forging process. Through the dual-core process, the two stainless steel types 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 special appearance of the radiating Damascus pattern, the double-edged blades of the Nagare knives offer excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention.

The ergonomically shaped handles lie particularly comfortably in the hand due to their soft, rounded lines. The riveted handle scales made of gray-black marbled or black pakkawood from the Japanese pine, an impregnated and particularly durable wood veneer, give the knife warmth and value.
