Kai Japanese Knives
Kai Shun Pro Japanese Nakiri Knife (VG-0165N)
The Kai Shun Pro Nakiri Knife is a traditional Japanese Vegetable Knife with a 16.5cm blade and a 12.2cm handle. This knife is ideal for chopping up herbs and vegetables, but is not suitable for chopping bones, despite its shape.
This knife is made 100% from v-gold-10 steel; an extremely high quality steel which is made up of 10% carbon, 1.5% cobalt, and 61 ± 1 HRC, making it exceptionally hard and highly resistant to corrosion.
The Kai Shun Pro Japanese Nakiri Knife has a single-edged blade; one side is slightly concave, reducing the contact between the blade and your food, and the other side is level and has been hollow ground, allowing an air pocket to produce between the blade, and your food. This helps to reduce friction, and keeps crumbs to a minimum.
The Kai Shun Pro Japanese knives are hand made by master knife craftsmen, and not only does this knife hold its outstanding sharpness, it is also very simple to restore its sharpness by using the same angle the craftsmen used, but with a whetstone.
All of the knives in the Kai Shun Pro range have an ergonomically shaped handle so it will fit comfortably in your hand. The handles have a full tang construction and are made from fine laminated Pakka wood.
They also come with a high quality wooden cover for the blade to help protect the edge.
