    Shun ® Kanso 6.5" Hollow-Ground Nakiri Knife
    $129.95

    When it's time to mince onions, slice zucchini for stir fries or shred cabbage for a slaw, this handcrafted vegetable knife is the proper tool for the job. The flat knife—nakiri bocho is Japanese for "knife for cutting greens"—cuts vegetables of all kinds with a simple downward push, much like a cleaver cuts meat. Hollow-ground indentations allow sliced foods to slide off smoothly. Created by talented artisans, the nakiri knife joins a high-carbon vanadium stainless steel blade with a handle made of durable tagayasan—known in Japan as "iron sword wood." The dramatic graining of the wenge wood pairs intriguingly with the blade's subtly textured finish.

    Each exquisite Shun knife is carefully crafted in a 100-step process inspired by ancient sword smiths. The amazing razor-sharp blades are created in Seki City, Japan's 700-year-old center for samurai swords.
