Shun Narukami 8-in. Chef's Knife

The Narukami Chef's Knife is quite versatile. It's ideal for trimming, slicing, chopping, and dicing. The 8" chef's knife is a must-have in all kitchens, both home and commercial. The large belly makes rolling-cuts a breeze. The Micarta handles provide a comfortable, stable grip in all conditions while giving a modern, sleek appearance.

The Shun Narukami Utility Knife is part of the exciting Shun Narukami line that provides exceptional handcrafted Shun quality at an amazing price. Narukami uses Shun's proprietary Composite Blade technology to bring together a San Mai upper with a Japanese Blue II carbon steel core that creates a gorgeous cutting edge that is easy to sharpen. This technology puts high-performance material exactly where it's needed—on the edge. The two blade sections are laser cut, then fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Braze welding permanently joins them. The attractive wavy pattern at the joint is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While Narukami's blade shapes and handle design are traditional Japanese, the Micarta handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip and balance, and is easy to maintain.
