With the Kai Shun Nagare ham knife, you're bringing a truly high-end tool into your kitchen. The 23 cm blade allows for precise and effortless cuts—ideal for carving hams, roasts, or large pieces of meat. Thanks to the innovative blade material with dual-core technology, this knife combines extreme sharpness, maximum hardness, and excellent rust resistance in an elegant design.

The blade is made of a 72-layer composite of VG10 and VG2 steel. Thanks to this special forging process, the knife has a double-edged, exceptionally durable edge. The polished surface and flowing Damascus pattern not only reflect artisanal precision, but also make each knife a stylish, unique piece.

The ergonomically shaped handle made of gray pakkawood fits comfortably in the hand and provides excellent balance. Attached with stainless steel rivets, it has a particularly high-quality and stable appearance – ideal for long, fatigue-free work.
