The Shun Premier collection is distinguished by hammered blades that evoke the artistry of traditional hand-forged knives. This special-edition Shun Premier Blonde nakiri features a PakkaWood handle in a natural light-colored wood tone – a beautiful counterpart to the hammered and polished blade. The nakiri knife, shaped like a slender cleaver, excels for quickly slicing vegetables and finely dicing onions.

• VG-MAX "super steel" blade is clad on each side with 34 microthin layers of stainless steel, creating a variegated look reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
• The striking hammered finish (tsuchime in Japanese) reduces drag when cutting and helps to quickly release food from the blade.
• Blonde PakkaWood handle has a two-position design, providing a trigger grip for pull cuts and the perfect balance point for a pinch grip.
• Stainless-steel end cap embossed with the Shun logo adds stability, strength and wide weight distribution from end to end.
