Shun Narukami 10" Cook's / Chef's Knife

The chef's knife is a true kitchen workhorse designed for comfort, ease of use & razor-sharp performance. The longer blade provides additional cutting leverage and is especially handy when it comes to cutting larger foods.

Shun's Narukami knives feature the ultimate performance of a Hitachi Blue II carbon steel cutting core complemented with a layer of bead-blasted stainless-steel on each side. Known as san mai, this traditional bead blasting technique makes Narukami carbon steel knives easier to maintain & enables food to release more easily from the blade. Like all carbon steels, Blue II requires additional care to prevent rust and corrosion from forming on the carbon steel core. Cleaning and drying immediately is key. Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge. Narukami, which means “thunderbolt” in Japanese, has a striking look. It is designed for professionals and for those who appreciate the unique qualities of fine carbon steel cutlery.

The ultimate performance of a carbon steel cutting core meets the beauty and benefits of SAN MAI stainless steel cladding in the Shun Narukami Chef’s Knife. Some cooks simply prefer a longer chef's knife. For them, we offer the Shun Narukami 10-inch Chef's Knife. The longer blade provides additional cutting leverage and is especially handy when it comes to cutting larger foods. If you swear by the performance of a carbon steel knife, this knife is for you.
