Shun Kanso 6 1/2" Nakiri Knife
Influenced by the Zen principle of simplicity, the Shun Kanso collection was designed with only the most essential elements in mind: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edges, perfect balance and precision handling. The nakiri knife (Japanese for "vegetable knife") features an ultra-sharp hollow-ground blade with indentations that reduce friction and minimize sticking. Shaped like a cleaver, this efficient knife chops, slices and minces fresh fruits and vegetables with ease.

- Razor-sharp 16-degree blade edge ensures precise cutting with maximum control.
- Heritage-finish blade hides scratches and improves with age.
- Full tang guarantees superb balance and ease of use.
- Angled handle is made of dark tagayasan, known as "iron sword wood," an extremely dense wood traditionally used to make Samurai sword handles.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
- 6 1/2"-long blade.
- 6 1/2"-long handle.

Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
Care
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
- Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at a 16-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
