For sale is one new and gift-boxed:  Shun Classic 6.5" Hollow Ground Nakiri Knife, model DM0739; made in Japan.  This knife is not a return or factory-second, nor is it defective in any way.


Shun's Classic line brings performance and elegance to the kitchen that must be experienced to be believed.  I've yet to encounter any cutlery that feels so natural, looks so good, or performs so well.  The Nakiri are a Japanese vegetable knife with a straight edge designed for a vertical cutting technique, using little to no pushing or pulling.  Despite being slightly shorter than a full-sized Western chef knife, it has a longer functional cutting edge for its intended motion.  Whether to start or supplement a set, this knife is certain to change your culinary experience just as it has for professional chefs worldwide.



Product Description:

Shun crafts their Classic Nakiri Knife using VG-10 steel which is layered with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side of the blade.  During the finishing process the layers are exposed while creating a beautiful pattern that not only protects the VG-10 core, it simultaneously creates a blade surface that resists food sticking to it--a real time-saver for kitchen preparation.  D-shaped handles are designed after the Japanese tradition and provide a comfortable, controlled grip.  Combine all of these features with the sharpest Japanese edge available and you have perfection.
