The Shun Nagare Blade

Using an innovative forging process, the so-called Dual-Core blade of the Shun Nagare series is created by combining two different types of steel with different properties into a 72-layer Damascus-style blade. The layering of the flexible and resilient VG 2 steel in combination with the particularly hard VG 10 steel gives the knives a hardness of approximately 61 HRC. A beautifully designed, radiating pattern is visible on the double-edged blades, which stands out impressively on the highly polished blades. The result of these elaborate processes is long-lasting edge retention, excellent sharpness, and an impressive appearance.

The Shun Nagare Handle

In contrast to other KAI series, the handle of the Shun Nagare series is slightly slimmer. The ergonomic shaping with the soft, rounded lines makes the knives pleasantly light, yet always secure in the hand. The full tang forged handle provides stability to the knives and offers optimal balance as a counterweight to the blade. The firmly riveted handle scales are made of gray-black mottled Pakkawood. This wood veneer is particularly resistant and slip-resistant in the hand due to impregnation.

The Range Includes 6 Blade Shapes

The range is typically KAI - not too much, but definitely not too little. The following blade shapes are offered: 9 cm utility knife, 15 cm all-purpose knife, 18 cm Santoku, 20 cm chef's knife, 23 cm ham knife, and a 23 cm bread knife. So, if the series adorns your knife block, you are well equipped for everything.

In our opinion, the KAI Shun Nagare series is impressively described. The excellent cutting performance, balanced handling, and stunning appearance catapult this new series into the Champions League of knife series.
