The Shun Shiranami Nakiri 6.5" is a beautifully crafted Japanese vegetable knife designed to deliver exceptional precision, efficiency, and elegance in the kitchen. Featuring the traditional nakiri blade shape, its straight cutting edge and squared tip excel at slicing, dicing, chopping, and preparing vegetables with remarkable control.
