Shun Classic 6.5 Inch Nakiri Knife — Review and Information.

This is a video where I show off the Shun Classic 6.5" Nakiri Knife and explain its features.

Essentially, the Shun Classic is the "foundation" or "go-to" of the Shun line. It uses VG-MAX Steel (~61 Hardness) sharpened to a 16 degree angle. On top of that, it has 34 layers of steel folded on each side (68 layers total!), giving it a beautiful damascus design.

The Classic line also has an extremely ergonomic, "D-Shaped" handle that fits great into right and left hands, reducing fatigue.

It's a very quick video of the knife, just to give you an idea of what it looks like and what it is all about.

NOTE: I'll be making quick videos showing all of the different knives and comparing the various lines of Shun to not only other brands, but each other as well!

What a great video! I especially liked how you showcased how the knife performed with the vegetables you decided to bring to the cutting board. Well thought out mate! Superb demonstration.

What is the difference between this and the Shun Classic 7” vegetable cleaver? They same very similar amd can be used for the same things?

Would you recommend this one over the Enso HD 6.5 nakiri?

0:17 shows right technique (push cuts) then shows and tells wrong (straight up and down chopping)..

VG-10/VG Max blades chip easily. Shun has a wide reputation for that.
