The outcome is a double-edged blade with outstanding edge retention and excellent sharpness. Do not wash in the dishwasher. The handle is riveted pakka wood.
Kai Shun Nagare: the stylish handle
The handle is ergonomically shaped with a slightly tapered line and a small belly. As such each knife feels amazing in hand. The handle is made from black-grey pakka wood and secured with two rivets. The forged tang in the handle provides a nice balance with the blade. With an amazing finish, as you might expect from these beautiful kitchen knives.
