A durable, well-balanced Japanese slicing knife with an ergonomic handle, ideal for cutting thin pieces of cooked meats and roasts. —DETAILS—Every knife in Kai Shun��s Nagare range undergoes a highly sophisticated process which involves bonding flexible VG2 steel with hard VG10 steel, surrounded by 72 layers of Damascus steel that form a radial pattern. Besides looking beautiful, this construction provides excellent durability and prevents food from sticking to the sides of the blade as you prep food. Very little pressure is required to make neat and precise cuts, and the blades retain their sharp edges for long stretches of time. The waterproof handle adopts the ergonomic style of Western knives, with a forged tang that provides an optimum counterweight to the blade. This long, 23cm knife is designed to smoothly cut roast meats and vegetables.

Then I met the Nagare range, which means I don��t have to! I can finally enjoy the sharp, fine-angled blades that make Japanese knives so delightful.��
