Put a lion in your hands! The Shogun Series of knives are what careers are built on.
The nakiri knife is a brutally effective vegetable assassin, and one of the most popular and essential blade styles among the Asian knife types. The word “Nakiri” can be broken down to “na” meaning ‘leaf’ in Japanese, and ‘kiri’ meaning ‘cutting’, a testament to its specialized nature. Hours of prep work are made easy with the Shogun Series nakiri in your hand, working tirelessly alongside you day in and day out. The straight edge, spine and nose of the knife make it a push-cut specialist, while the wider blades assists in scooping up food for transfer. If you find yourself cutting ample amounts of leafy greens, vegetables or fruit, this is an essential addition to your cutlery collection.

The Shogun Series X 55mm wide blade is precision forged from a single piece of 66-layered damascus high-carbon stainless steel cladding, with an ultra premium Japanese AUS-10V steel cutting core. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility and hardness.
