The Shun Nagare series of Japanese knives is both effective and visual. Let's take a closer look at the technical features of the knives in this range:
- First of all, why choose a slicing knife? The slicing knife has a long, thin blade, ideal for clean, precise slicing of hams, etc. It ensures meticulous work, and brings out the full flavor of your favorite charcuterie.
- The blade of this 23cm chef's knife is made from a combination of 2 steels. The first is a rather hard steel, VG10, while the second is a more flexible steel, VG2. These 2 steels are complementary and form the Dual Core.
VG10 is a particularly interesting steel, as it is rich in carbon (around 1%), but also in chromium. It therefore offers the strength of a carbon blade, while remaining stainless (thanks to the chromium).
The combination of VG2 and damascus gives the blade an appreciable combination of strength and flexibility. The blade reaches around 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale, and even though it's harder than a standard blade, it's still easy to sharpen.
- Damascus has 72 layers (i.e., layers of steel, folded one on top of the other, counting the core). The damascus is very pleasing to the eye, and demonstrates Kai 's high level of expertise!
- Kai also holds a specific patent on this blade, as the Shun Nagare knife is one of the very few to feature a damascus pattern extending right down to the cutting edge. In fact, you can see that the VG2 and VG10 criss-cross the entire cutting surface.
- The handle is made of Pakkawood composite material. This is made from compressed wood strips blended with high-pressure resin, making it future-proof. It combines the warmth and rustic look of wood with the strength of resin. It is anti-bacterial, moisture-resistant and complies with the hygiene criteria imposed by food service standards. Its unique curved base makes it easy to grip. The rounded shape nestles naturally in the palm. The handle is then completed by 2 stainless steel rivets, to assemble the blade running inside its surface.
- Finally, the knife's design is both sober and effective! The damask and veining of the handle add a touch of refinement to your kitchen equipment.
KAI is renowned the world over for its lines of knives and cooking accessories. They are used by professional cooks and home cooks alike. This popularity is due to the durability and optimum finish of these knives. They are the epitome of expertise!
