KAI Shun Nagare KAI-NDC-0700 9cm Paring Knife

  72 Layers of  Bonded Damascus Micarta Handles  Suitable for left and right-handed users Made in Japan Kai has created another innovative masterpiece of Japanese black-smithing with its Shun Nagare Series. Its sophisticated design, the special properties of the materials employed, and a technically complex production process places this series of knives among the pinnacle of the luxury class. An artfully decorated, radial pattern of Damascus layers adorns the highly polished blades. This effect, combined with the mottled grey-black handle, lends the knife an impressive overall appearance. The series’ blades consist of two different types of steel, which are bonded to form a 72-layered piece of Damascus steel. This complex layering of two types of steel results in a blade with exceptionally sustainable cutting ability, which has been recognised by the awarding of the German Design Award 2017 Special Mention
