SHUN NEGARE CHEF 20 CM

SHUN NEGARE CHEF 20 CM

With this series, Kai has created a masterpiece of Japanese blacksmithing innovation. It features a highly sophisticated design, the special properties of the materials used in its manufacture, along with a very complex production process, place this Kai series at the top of the pyramid in terms of quality and customer satisfaction.

It contrasts with the luxury of the Japanese kitchen knife with the artistic "radial" design used in the decoration of the layers of Damascus steel, which are highly polished and shiny.

The blades in this series are formed from two different steels, which are joined together to form a single piece of 72-layer Damascus steel. This complex fusion of two types of steel results in a blade with exceptional cutting performance, which has been awarded the Special Mention of the German Design Award 2017.

The combination of flexible yet robust VG 2 steel and an especially hard VG 10 steel results in a hardness of 61 (± 1) HRC. The double-edged blades have particularly long edge retention and excellent sharpness.

The ergonomic handle with smooth, rounded lines fits perfectly in the hand. The forged tang in the handle gives the knife robust stability and provides an optimal counterbalance to the blade. The riveted handle is made of mottled gray and black pakka wood, a water-resistant wood veneer.

The sophisticated design of this 9 CM Shun Nagare Office, the special properties of the materials used, and a technically complex production process make this knife series belong to the absolute luxury category.

On the highly polished blades, a lavishly decorated radial pattern of Damascus layers is visible. This effect, combined with the gray-black mottled handle, gives the knife a striking overall appearance.
