KAI Shun Nagare 18cm Santoku

The KAI Shun Nagare 18cm Santoku is a high-quality kitchen knife that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials. The knife has a distinctive 72-layer Damascus construction of VG2 and VG10, which gives outstanding cutting performance, wear resistance and a unique pattern. The ergonomic Western-style pakkawood handle sits well in the hand and reduces fatigue during longer use. The Santoku shape is perfect for precision tasks in the kitchen, such as cutting meat, fish and vegetables, and with a hardness of around 61 HRC the blade stays sharp for a long time. Please note that the knife is not dishwasher safe and should not be used on bones, frozen food or very hard items, to avoid damage.

• 72 layers of Damascus steel (VG2 and VG10) for a superior look and strength
• Ergonomic Western-style pakkawood handle for comfort and control
• Santoku design, ideal for meat, fish and vegetables
• 50/50 grind for precise, even cutting
• Stainless steel and high HRC (61) for long-lasting sharpness

Wash the knife by hand with mild washing-up liquid and dry it immediately. Avoid the dishwasher. Do not cut bones, cartilage, frozen food or very hard cheeses. Use a wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the edge. Sharpen regularly as needed and store the knife dry.

Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.

Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
