Refined and Sora 6-inch Nakiri Knife, Handcrafted in Japan with VG10 Steel

The Shun Sora Hollow Ground Nakiri is a Japanese-style vegetable knife that has captivated both professional chefs and home cooks worldwide. With its straight blade, edge, and spine, this beautiful and highly functional tool excels at performing simple push cuts that effortlessly handle a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

The clean and swift cutting action of the Nakiri is particularly well-suited for daily salad preparation or slicing vegetables for stir-fries. Its blunt end also makes finely dicing onions a fast, easy, and safer task. This remarkable performance is attributed to the hollow-ground indentations on the blade's sides, which create small air pockets that reduce friction and facilitate smooth, gliding cuts.

Engineered with Proprietary Composite Blade Technology, the Shun Sora Hollow Ground Nakiri features a cutting edge made from high-performance VG10 steel, while the upper portion of the blade is crafted from highly corrosion-resistant Japanese 420J stainless steel. This san mai edge construction protects and supports the VG10 cutting core, resulting in a razor-sharp 16-degree edge on each side for quick and effortless cutting.

The traditional handle design of the Shun Sora Hollow Ground Nakiri blends a contemporary look with a secure grip and excellent balance, thanks to the textured PP/TPE polymer blend material. This handle, which extends all the way to the embossed medallion, not only provides a comfortable and easy-to-maintain grip but also contributes to the overall strength and balance of the knife.

Crafted with the utmost care in Japan, the Shun Sora Hollow Ground Nakiri is a testament to the exceptional skill and artistry of Japanese knife-making. Whether you're a professional chef or an avid home cook, this versatile and high-performing vegetable knife will become an indispensable tool in your kitchen, allowing you to tackle a wide range of culinary tasks with precision, efficiency, and style.
