Detail
Summary
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.
Dimensions & More Info
- 8" blade, 5" handle.
- 7.68 oz.
- Handcrafted in Japan.
Use & Care
Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
Care
- Blue II carbon steel requires additional care: cleaning and drying immediately is key.
- Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
- In order to maximize the life of the blade, regular honing with a Shun steel is necessary. Weekly honing will extend the time between sharpening significantly. When the time comes to sharpen this blade, we recommend using a whetstone or the Kai electric sharpener (specifically designed to sharpen Shun's 16-degree blade angle), taking it to a professional sharpener or sending it to our service center in Tualatin, Oregon, for free sharpening.
- Store in safe place to protect edge and prevent injury.

Too heavy for little hands

My wife likes the 6” as it is easier on her wrists. She told me not to buy her anymore knives… LOL!

Poor quality

Kai knives have poor quality. All these chips are from sharpening. Kai took my money to 'warrantee or sharpen' then sent back this knife. "sharpening serrations isn’t a service that we provide so we were unable to repair the damage." Low quality in expensive knives and dishonest service.

Best knife I own

I bought this knife after I seen it at the NRA show this year. It like beautiful the blade is razor sharp so sharp when I cut a steak for a steak salad yesterday at work it went right though the meat like it was soft butter and I didn’t even use very much pressure it is amazing. I can’t wait to cut more with this knife I am truly amazed!!!
