The Shun Classic Blonde Nakiri 6.5" is designed with the fine slicing of vegetables in mind. The wide blade with a thin cross-section permits paper-thin cuts of radish, cucumber, and ginger and the straight edge allows you to make smooth slices when you draw the tip neatly across your cutting board. The rectangular blade shape is also optimal for transferring what you've just sliced to a frying pan or wok.

Shun Classic Blonde is everything you love about the venerable Shun Classic series, but with a beautiful blonde Pakkawood handle. Crafted to exactly the same standards as its sister line, the Shun Classic Blonde knives feature gorgeous Damascus clad blades of layered stainless steel around a proprietary VG-MAX cutting core, offering maximum cutting performance, strength, corrosion resistance, and of course a razor-sharp 16° edge. These handcrafted knife are design with a full composite tang so each Classic remains lightweight, yet perfectly balanced. Finished off with a D-shaped Blonde Pakkawood handle, the Shun Classics are comfortable and offer a secure, traditional Japanese grip.
