Kai Shun Nagare Black Damascus Santoku Knife

Shun Nagare Black, a range of absolute luxury born from the exceptional craftsmanship of the Japanese knifemaker Kai.

Carving knife (often called a meat knife or ham knife).
Its long, thin blade is specifically designed to make clean, smooth, and even cuts in a single motion on large pieces of food (roasts, hams, salmon).
VG-2 and VG-10 steel construction creates a 72-layer Damascus steel pattern, giving the blade exceptionally durable cutting performance. Hardness: 61 (+/- 1) HRC.
Self-sharpening edge: Because these two steels wear at microscopically different rates, the knife's edge retains a natural micro-serration. This gives it exceptional cutting longevity and a razor-sharp edge.

The Damascus radial pattern, the shine of the polished blades, and the design of the dark gray handles give this range of high-end knives an undeniable and impressive charm.

The handle: Made of laminated black/dark gray pakkawood, impregnated with protective resins for perfect waterproofing and durability. An ergonomic shape with smooth lines and a riveted, forged tang provides perfect counterweight to the blade.
