The Shun Narukami Blue #2 Carbon Steel Chef’s Knife is a must-have for any culinary enthusiast. Made from Aogami #2 blue carbon steel, this knife not only takes a fine edge but also retains it for an extended period, making it easier to sharpen compared to stainless steel. The stainless steel cladding protects the core, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance.
With an extra tall 2-1/4″ blade height, this Japanese knife provides ample knuckle clearance, offering versatility for various cutting tasks. The contoured, full-tang, riveted micarta handle is moisture-resistant, durable, and comfortable to hold, making it a joy to use in the kitchen.
This chef’s knife boasts a 61-62 Rockwell hardness and features a hand-sharpened double-bevel edge angle of 16° on each side, ensuring precision cuts every time. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. To maintain its beauty, wash and dry it by hand, as the exposed carbon steel near the edge may rust if not cared for properly. With time, this area develops a stunning patina.
