KAI Shun Nagare & Shun Nagare Black

True masterpieces of Japanese knife-making art: The collections Shun Nagare and Shun Nagare Black by the brand KAI. These innovative knives are manufactured through a technically sophisticated production process. Both series impress with their authentic design and excellent quality.

The double-edged blades reveal the typical Damascus steel pattern: Multiple alternating layers of different types of steel create an artfully designed radiating pattern. The ergonomically shaped, relatively short Pakka wood handles are available in either black grained or gray marbled. Knives from the KAI Shun Nagare and KAI Shun Nagare Black series combine the best material properties with unique aesthetics and highest functionality.

The Blade

The dual-core knife blades of the Shun Nagare and Shun Nagare Black collections are made from two different types of steel, which are forged into a 72-layer Damascus steel. This combination of a flexible, resilient VG-2 steel with a particularly hard VG-10 steel results in a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC. The complex manufacturing process creates a blade with exceptionally high sharpness and excellent durability.

The Handle

Thanks to the organic, rounded design, the handle of the KAI Shun Nagare and KAI Shun Nagare Black knives fits comfortably and securely in the hand. The riveted handle scales made of durable, impregnated pakkawood are relatively resistant and provide a confident look. Shun Nagare handles are gray-black marbled, while the handles of the Shun Nagare Black line are black grained. The continuous, forged tang gives the KAI Shun Nagare and KAI Shun Nagare Black knives good stability and optimal balance. This allows for fatigue-free cutting and makes working with these KAI knives a real pleasure.

The Collection

The Shun Nagare and Shun Nagare Black series by KAI each include six different types of knives: an office knife with a 9 cm blade, a utility knife 15 cm, a Santoku 18 cm, a chef's knife 20 cm, a carving knife 23 cm, and a bread knife with a 23 cm blade length. With these KAI knives, you are well-equipped for all cutting tasks in your kitchen.
