10″ Chef’s Knife – Shun Narukami

10″ Chef’s Knife

Narukami’S LIGHT, AGILE BLADE ENSURES EVEN THIS LARGER CHEF’S KNIFE HANDLES WITH EASE

If you’re one of the many cooks who prefer a larger chef’s knife, the Shun Narukami 10-inch Chef’s Knife would be an excellent choice for you. Because of Narukami’s thinner, lighter blades, you’ll find that this larger chef’s knife handles just as easily as a smaller one, while still providing the longer cutting edge you want. Professional chefs often choose a longer blade length in order to handle an increased volume of product and improve efficiency in the kitchen. The Shun Narukami 10-inch Chef’s Knife handles everything from small to large foods. The wide blade helps keep knuckles off the cutting board and is very handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. The curved belly makes rocking cuts easy, too.

Shun Narukami looks sharp and sharpens easily. Created for the love of carbon steel with the realization that carbon steel requires special care, Kai added a layer of stainless steel on each side of the blade, making care for Narukami easier. Tough with a keen edge even after hours of food prep, resharpening is a breeze, when it needs it. This is why professional chefs prefer carbon steel. If you love carbon steel, you’re going to love Narukami. Hitachi Blue II is a simple carbon steel alloy that provides excellent edge retention and toughness and can be re-sharpened easily. Yet, like all carbon steels, Blue II requires additional care. Cleaning and drying immediately is key. Over time, the edge will darken, developing a patina which, when formed, will also help protect the edge. The bead-blasted stainless steel cladding helps prevent corrosion on the carbon steel core, hides scratches, and helps with food release. Shun Narukami are built to last. With full tang construction, and micarta handles, this line will become your go-to for many culinary creations.

AT THE PEAK OF PERFECTION
In Japan, “shun” (pronounced shoon) is the word used to describe local, seasonal food at the very peak of its flavor and freshness. Shun is a time—the exact moment—when a fruit has reached its perfect ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time. Kai named their fine cutlery Shun to honor this tradition of seasonal, mindful eating and as a mark of their dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.
So now you know; just say, “Shoon” (rhymes with “moon”) for kitchen cutlery that’s designed to help keep your freshest ingredients at their very best.
