Kagerou Nakiri 16.5cm

The Shun Kagerou Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife. It is a particularly well-balanced knife suitable for mincing, cutting, dicing and peeling vegetables. Experience the satisfaction of clean, effortless cuts as the Kagerou Nakiri's straight blade glides through vegetables with remarkable ease. Unlike a chef's knife that rocks, this specialized tool excels with simple push cuts that create uniform slices and precise dices every time. From daily salad prep to intricate stir-fry ingredients, the Nakiri's wide, flat blade and blunt tip provide superior control and safety. The captivating two-tone design features a mirror-polished upper section flowing into intricate Damascus patterning below, creating the signature heat haze effect that gives Kagerou its name. The ergonomic grey-marbled PakkaWood handle ensures comfortable control during extended prep sessions. All Shun Kagerou knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.
