Shun Narukami Carbon Steel Chef’s Knife, 8″

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 and enables food to release more easily from the blade. The chef’s knife is a true kitchen workhorse designed for comfort, ease of use and razor-sharp performance. Use it for everything from slicing meat to chopping fresh vegetables.

• Hitachi Blue II carbon steel cutting core is ground to scalpel-sharp cutting edge, offering excellent edge retention and toughness, and is easy for home cooks to re-sharpen.
• Full-tang construction gives knife strength, balance and durability.
• Riveted Micarta handles are durable, beautiful, lightweight and offer an extremely comfortable grip.
• Handcrafted in Japan.
