For a rugged yet refined addition to your cutlery arsenal, use the Shun Premier Blonde 5.5" Nakiri Knife. Offering the striking and sophisticated performance abilities of Shun Premier with an elevated new look, the Shun Premier Blonde Collection is comprised of full-composite tang blades that maneuver your meal preparation with ease. 68 layers of micro-thin Damascus steel are hand-hammered to create a Japanese-style "tsuchime" finish that allows foods to free from the blade with ease. The VG-MAX super steel core maintains the integrity of the blade over time, adding wear and corrosion resistance. Undeniably lightweight and evenly balanced, the blade is housed by a comfort-contoured, moisture-resistant Pakkawood handle in a light blonde color and finished with a stainless steel cap for subtle elegance.

In Japanese, the word "nakiri" translates to "vegetable knife".

The blunt tip allows for safer use when working in the kitchen without compromising the precise slicing abilities.
