The Shun Premier 5.5" Nakiri feels like it was made for those joyful moments when you're prepping a mountain of fresh vegetables. Its straight blade and blunt tip invite a smooth push-cut motion that glides through carrots, zucchini, onions, and herbs with remarkable ease no rocking required, just precise, efficient slices every time.

We’re especially drawn to how Shun designed this knife: a razor-sharp VG-MAX core clad in 68 layers of Damascus steel, finished with a distinctive hammered tsuchime texture that not only looks stunning but helps food release effortlessly. The contoured walnut-finish PakkaWood handle sits comfortably in your hand, giving you control and confidence whether you’re dicing for a quick stir-fry or building an impressive salad.

Lightweight yet capable, it turns everyday vegetable work into something almost meditative. Once you experience the difference a proper nakiri makes, you’ll reach for it again and again.

  • VG-MAX core clad in 68-layer Damascus with hammered tsuchime finish for superior sharpness, corrosion resistance, and easy food release
  • Straight 5.5-inch nakiri blade perfect for precise push cuts on vegetables, fruits, and herbs without a tip for added kitchen safety
  • Lightweight design excels at dicing, chopping, and mincing produce with Japanese efficiency and control
  • Contoured walnut finish Pakkawood handle provides moisture resistant comfort and secure hold for daily use
