The ergonomic handles with soft and rounded lines make the Shun Nagare knives comfortable to handle. The riveted handle scales are made of high-quality, black-mottled pakkawood. To make them durable, moisture-resistant and resilient, the pakkawood is treated with selected resins. In addition, the forged tang in the handle provides massive stability while optimally balancing the knife as a counterweight to the blade.
The dual-core blades in the series are manufactured using an innovative forging process. Two types of steel with different characteristics are combined to form a Damascus blade with 72 layers of steel. As a result, the combination of flexible and resistant VG 2 steel with the extremely hard VG 10 steel leads to a hardness of 61 (±1) HRC. These features give the double-edged blades long-lasting edge retention and exceptional sharpness.
