The KAI Shun Nagare 15cm Utility Knife

With its soft, rounded lines, the ergonomically shaped handle fits the hand perfectly. The forged tang in the handle lends the knife a robust stability and provides an optimum counterweight to the blade. The riveted handle, which is fashioned from mottled grey-black pakkawood - a waterproof and especially robust wood veneer - imparts a warm and valuable feel to the knife.

An absolutely stunning knife handmade in Japan 

  • Handmade in Japan
  • Rockwell Hardness 61 (±1)
  • HRC Handle Pakkawood
  • BLADE 72 layers of Damascus steel made of VG 2 & VG
KAI has created another innovative masterpiece of Japanese blacksmithing with its Shun Nagare Series. Its sophisticated design, the special properties of the materials employed, and a technically complex production process places this series of knives among the pinnacle of the luxury class. An artfully decorated, radial pattern of Damascus layers adorns the highly polished blades. This effect, combined with the mottled grey-black handle, lends the knife an impressive overall appearance. The series' blades consist of two different types of steel, which are bonded to form a 72-layered piece of Damascus steel. This complex layering of two types of steel results in a blade with exceptional cutting performance, which has been recognised by the awarding of the German Design Award 2017 Special Mention
