Shun Classic Blonde 6.5" Nakiri Knife DM0728W

Clean Cuts. Faster Prep. Better Cooking.

The Shun Classic Blonde 6.5" Nakiri Knife is built for cooks who prep vegetables often and want it to feel effortless. The straight edge and squared tip are not just distinctive. They are purposeful. This knife is designed for clean push cuts that keep the blade in full contact with the board, which means faster slicing, cleaner cuts, and less fatigue.

From onions and peppers to cabbage, herbs, and root vegetables, this knife turns prep into a smooth, efficient rhythm. If vegetables are a big part of how you cook, this knife earns its place quickly.

What Makes It Exceptional

• Straight Edge for Efficient Push Cuts
  More blade contact with the board means faster prep and cleaner cuts with every slice.
• VG-MAX Cutting Core
  Holds a razor-sharp 16° edge that glides through dense vegetables without forcing the cut.
• Damascus-Clad Blade
  Stainless steel layers reduce sticking so vegetables release easily and prep moves faster.
• Comfortable, Balanced Handle
  The blonde Pakkawood handle fits naturally in your hand for control during long prep sessions.
• Compact and Easy to Control
  The 6.5-inch length and squared tip give you precision without feeling bulky on the board.
