Imagine the clean sweep of your knife through a vibrant pile of carrots or kale, yielding perfect, even slices that land just right in a winter stew or crisp salad, all with a safety that lets you focus on the flavors ahead. That's the thoughtful rhythm Shun captures in their Dual Core 6.5-inch Nakiri, a Japanese vegetable knife we reach for whenever produce prep calls for grace and speed. We love how Shun engineered this with a dual core of VG10 and VG2 steels, layered into 71 micro Damascus sheets for a whisper thin 16-degree edge that holds razor keen through seasons of use, while the blunt tip keeps things steady and secure on the board.

Shun shaped the straight blade for effortless push cuts that make dicing onions or mincing herbs feel intuitive, no rocking or tip hazards in sight. At a lightweight 6.1 ounces, it moves like an extension of your hand, perfect for home cooks who savor fresh sides without the fatigue.

The octagon ebony Pakkawood handle cradles your grip with warm, bacteria resistant comfort, and it arrives with a wooden sheath for safe storage. Shun built this beauty to honor every root and leaf, and we're all in on how it elevates your everyday bounty. We chose it because nothing transforms veggie work into quiet joy quite like this.
