Japanese tradition and strength is crafted into each blade of the Wasabi Black line by Shun. The 6 ½ inch Nakiri is a classic Japanese blade shape, designed for slicing, chopping and scooping vegetables. The unique rectangular blade shape features a single-beveled edge that has been sharpened for precision cuts. The Wasabi Black 6 ½ inch Nakiri is finished with a solid, rounded handle for a balanced knife in the hands of any chef.

Wasabi Black knives are a new addition to their terrific Japanese cutlery lineup. Kershaw/Shun has been Japan’s premier blade craftsman for over 90 years. New in 2008, classic Shun craftsmanship matches with contemporary style in the Wasabi Black line. Among the sharpest of knives, the Wasabi Black knives uphold Shun’s commitment to exemplary design and function. Sleek, black handles made of powdered bamboo combined with polypropylene hold the brushed stainless steel blade, balancing comfort and strength. The blades are constructed of Daido 1K6 high-carbon stainless steel for enduring edge retention, requiring less sharpening than other knives.
